OT Staffing coming soon!

When Utility IT Inherits OT – Sponsored by Claroty on September 24th, 2025

At 3:00 PM EDT

The event’s objective is to bring IT and OT executives together to discuss the business impact of integrating those departments to safeguard all systems amidst the NERC CIP-015 implementation. It is key to understand the difference between IT and OT, particularly in terms of priorities and the potential financial impact of IT actions on OT systems. For instance, what is the impact on production, and the bottom line, when cybersecurity remediation tools are introduced?

This invitation-only Roundtable will be a closed-door discussion of the business challenges of the IT/OT Inheritance Journey Amid NERC CIP-015 Imperatives
