Few topics get as much heat as the current, future, and ideal relationship between OT and IT. One of the first posts someone just discovering OT makes is how OT is different than IT. As you dig deeper into OT you find an increasing case of the technology, processes, and even the people being similar to IT.

In this 90 minute long conversation format, we will try to bring some enlightenment to this question with a specially curated group of 10 S4x25 attendees.

About The Long Conversation Format

Two people begin the discussion on stage. After 10 minutes a third person will tap one of the participants on the shoulder and replace them in the conversation. This continues for the 90 minutes. Participants are on stage for 20 minutes talking to two different people for 10 minutes each.

Each participant sits in for at least the 30 minutes prior to the conversation so they know the flow. That being said, the conversation can veer wherever the two current participants choose.

Marty and Dale will carefully curate the participants to get varied and dynamic conversations. This topic is typically covered at a basic level early on one’s OT security journey. This long conversation will be deeper and more nuanced with participants with long and varied experience dealing with this issue.
