Description

Industrial asset owners experience unique challenges and security considerations when securig their network perimeter, focusing on OT LAN and Edge Networks. With the increasing integration of IT/OT environments and the exposure of the network perimeter to external networks, this session explores threats and vulnerabilities affecting critical networks, along with mitigation strategies. Rod will introduce Fortinet’s Security Fabric Platform approach for integrated security management of the LAN and Edge Networks in OT, discussing the benefits of a unified approach for configuration, maintenance, and security operations. Additionally, he will explore LAN Edge and SASE extensions, highlighting how these enable the extension of unified security across the smallest and most remote sites.
