ATLSECCON 2025

There have been a variety of global attacks that disrupted power distribution, fuel distribution, and shipments. The attacks were successful because they exploited vulnerabilities in Operational Technology (OT). Due to the nature of OT, these disruptions not only cause a loss in revenue but can cause a loss of life as well. However, the industry is changing, and as assets become exposed to the Internet, the fundamental technologies of IT can help secure them. The presentation focuses on understanding past OT attacks, the differences and similarities between securing IT and OT technologies, and how we can merge the two to be able to have safer critical infrastructure.
