Webinar | Does IT/OT convergence create new risks for your operations?

Written by NOVIPRO | Mar 17, 2026 1:49:28 PM

The convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) is transforming industrial environments. By connecting production systems with business platforms, cloud infrastructures, and analytics tools, organizations can improve operational performance, optimize maintenance, and accelerate decision-making. 

However, this transformation also expands the attack surface and exposes industrial systems to cybersecurity risks that traditional IT security approaches were not designed to address.

In many recent incidents, attacks do not initially target industrial systems. Instead, they begin in IT environments—through phishing, remote access, or unpatched vulnerabilities—before spreading to OT systems, where the impact can be significant.

In industrial environments, these incidents can lead to:
•    Production downtime
•    Operational disruptions
•    Significant financial losses
•    Safety risks for employees and infrastructure

Implementing an effective cybersecurity strategy in these environments therefore requires a different approach—one that considers operational constraints, system availability, and cyber risk management.

Join us to explore practical strategies for addressing these challenges without disrupting operations.

Why attend this webinar

  • Better understand the risks associated with IT/OT convergence and how cyberattacks can propagate from IT systems into industrial environments

  • Identify the blind spots of OT cybersecurity, including limited asset visibility, network segmentation challenges, and access management issues

  • Discover practical approaches to improve threat detection and monitoring in connected industrial infrastructures

  • Understand how to structure incident response strategies adapted to production environments while protecting operational continuity

  • Explore ways to align IT, OT, and cybersecurity teams to better manage risks in increasingly interconnected environments

Agenda

Our NOVIPRO and StreamScan experts will spend one hour with you demystifying the reality of IT/OT convergence and what it means in practice for securing your operations.

Understanding the risks of IT/OT convergence
•    How attacks originate in IT environments and reach OT systems
•    Why industrial infrastructures have become preferred targets
•    Operational and financial impacts of OT incidents

Identifying blind spots in industrial cybersecurity
•    Limited visibility over OT assets
•    Poorly segmented industrial networks
•    Uncontrolled remote access
•    Challenges related to industrial protocols

Improving monitoring across industrial environments
•    Behavior and anomaly-based detection
•    Monitoring compatible with industrial protocols
•    Increased visibility into system flows and dependencies

Structuring incident response for OT environments
•    Effective coordination between IT, OT, and security teams
•    Containment decisions that support operational continuity
•    Response plans adapted to production environments
