📅 February 11 · 9 PM IST – Set Reminder ▶️

Industrial IoT (IIoT) is reshaping industries like manufacturing, energy, and critical infrastructure—enabling efficiency, automation, and real-time insight. But with connectivity comes risk. Legacy operational technology (OT) systems, insecure protocols, and increasing network exposure are creating new attack surfaces that traditional IT defenses can’t handle.

This session delivers a practical, security-first introduction to Industrial IoT, showing how organizations can identify threats, protect critical assets, and build resilience without disrupting operations.

Led by Harshita Maurya, Senior Corporate Trainer, the session bridges theory with field-tested strategies to help professionals secure connected industrial systems.

🔍 What you’ll learn:

1. The Rise of Industrial IoT and Its Security Challenges
Understanding how IIoT connects machines, sensors, and control systems.
Why legacy OT networks weren’t built for cybersecurity.
The new risks introduced by convergence between IT and OT environments.
Common vulnerabilities in PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial networks.

2. Common Threats to Connected Industrial Systems
Malware and ransomware targeting OT environments (e.g., Stuxnet, Triton, Industroyer).
Remote access exploitation and credential misuse.
Supply chain and firmware manipulation risks.
Network exposure and misconfigurations in IIoT devices.
Human errors, insider threats, and maintenance-related vulnerabilities.

3. Multi-Source Risk Scenarios
How attackers move from IT to OT systems (pivot attacks).
Real-world case studies of industrial compromise and downtime.
Balancing safety, reliability, and security in mission-critical operations.

4. Mitigation Strategies and Security Controls
Network segmentation and secure zones for OT and IT traffic.
Zero Trust principles for industrial access control.
Strong authentication, patch management, and firmware validation.
Encryption, secure communication, and anomaly detection.
Backup, recovery, and incident response planning tailored for industrial environments.

5. Governance, Frameworks, and Standards
Best practices aligned with IEC 62443, NIST 800-82, and ISO 27019.
Implementing continuous monitoring and threat intelligence for OT.
How governance frameworks reduce risk and ensure compliance.

6. Building Operational Resilience
Designing layered defense architectures for IIoT.
Creating collaboration between IT, OT, and security teams.
Steps to transition from reactive defense to proactive threat management.

7. Live Q&A and Applied Guidance
Interactive discussion on securing industrial systems and managing hybrid IT-OT environments.
Actionable advice for cybersecurity, risk, and operations professionals.

🎯 Who should attend?
Cybersecurity professionals and OT engineers
SOC analysts and risk managers
IT administrators securing connected environments
Manufacturing and industrial automation teams
Anyone responsible for IIoT governance and resilience
