This presentation will include Clif Triplett’s significant accomplishments in this arena, and
his current perspective.
Takeaways will include:

The Need for OT/IT Convergence, to include:

a) Increased Efficiency and Productivity, to include Integration of business
processes with production processes, so decisions made in the business
environment are reflected in the production floor real-time.
b) And Data-Driven Decisions, analyzing real-time data from OT systems with IT
systems, resulting in more informed decisions, optimize operations, and
improve productivity.

Enhanced Security, to include:

a) Unified Security Policies and procedures (controls) that covers both domains,
as both domains are under tremendous attack, many times from nation
states, depending upon the crown jewels of the entity.
b) Proactive Threat Detection, leveraging IT security tools to monitor OT
environments, establish early detection and mitigation of threats.

A general Roadmap to achieve these and other objectives / benefits.
