The New Year is a great time to make resolutions and look to make changes from the previous year, but often as the weeks pass, these resolutions fall to the back burner. For 2023, let’s try to change that when it comes to OT Cybersecurity. In this webinar we will examine common pitfalls that prevent progress on goals in the new year, the specific need for improved OT cybersecurity in industrial control systems (ICS), how to develop and implement a roadmap-based approach, and lastly how to track progress. With these steps anyone can be successful at improving their cybersecurity knowledge this year, whether it is setting a personnel goal for better training, or an organization wide goal for better posture, this webinar can serve as the catalyst to get the New Year moving in the right direction.
