Trusted CI Webinar: The Operational Technology Procurement Vendor Matrix, Monday March 31st @10am Central
Trusted CI's Mark Krenz is presenting the talk, The Trusted CI Operational Technology Procurement Vendor Matrix, on Monday March 31st at
10am, Central time.
Operational Technology (OT), when installed on an organization's network, becomes part of the overall cyber attack surface for an organization. When procuring this OT, it is important for the purchasing organization to understand how it will integrate with
the existing network and security controls as well as understand what new risks it might introduce. The Trusted CI Operational Technology Procurement Vendor Matrix (the Matrix) provides a prioritized list of questions for organizations to send to manufacturers
and suppliers to try to get as much of this information as possible.
In this webinar, we will walk through what security issues impact OT, the role of procurement in mitigating security risks, our reasoning and process for developing the Matrix, and a walk through on how to use the Matrix at your organization. Questions and
shared experiences with OT are encouraged.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Organizational leadership, procurement department, IT, cybersecurity
