Session details:

Join us for an upcoming Operational Technology (OT) hands-on virtual workshop. As a bonus, lunch is on us.

This hands-on workshop is designed to deepen your technical knowledge of the Fortinet Security Fabric for protecting your OT network against all current and future security threats.

The session is composed of a lecture on securing OT environments using the Fortinet Security Fabric followed by a hands-on lab exercises (self-paced) aligned with the lecture material.

What You'll Learn:

  • Traditional and modern segmentation methods for operational environments including the risks associated with a flat network architecture.
  • Segmentation practices to support compliance with NIST, IEC 62443 and other operational cybersecurity frameworks.
  • Applying and enforcing access control policies with the FortiGate Next Generation Firewall.
  • Dynamically assigning role-based controls to group applications, link data, and limit access to specific groups in order to fortify OT defenses providing fine-grained control that adjusts access based on continuously assessing the trust of devices and users.
  • Configure virtual patching through IPS and industrial protocol visibility and security, plus implementing deception techniques to protect OT.
