Industrial organisations face a growing challenge: balancing productivity with the need to secure operational technology (OT). With the European NIS2 on the horizon, Belgian companies in critical sectors (such as the food sector) must not only be risk-aware, but also have demonstrable controls for visibility and access management.
This session uses the Purdue model as a guide to identify risks at different levels. We explore how better visibility of assets, communication and vulnerabilities can turn blind spots into actionable insights. We also show how privileged access management principles protect critical systems by ensuring that only the right people — and only them — have access at the right time.
At the end, you will see how combining visibility with access management enables compliance, supports resilience and delivers practical improvements without disrupting business operations.
