7.30pm - Dean Ellerby - Defender for IoT: Don't let your smart locks open the wrong doors!

• In the modern world, the role of Operational Technology (OT) is both critical and often underappreciated. The veins of our cities, factories, and essential services pulse with OT, quietly supporting our day-to-day existence.
• However, the recent wave of cyber threats has cast a spotlight on a crucial truth: OT is as vulnerable to attacks as IT, and in some instances, may serve as a launchpad for threats against traditional IT systems. In this dynamic and thought-provoking session, we pivot the lens towards Microsoft's robust capabilities for securing both IoT and OT.
• With the increasing integration of these technologies into our infrastructure, understanding and implementing comprehensive security strategies has never been more important. As the boundaries between IT and OT continue to blur, we need tools that can navigate both landscapes. Defender for IoT is designed to do exactly that, providing robust security for OT devices that are often the weakest links in an organization's security chain.
• We will explore how Defender for IoT can discover unmanaged OT devices, detect vulnerabilities, and provide real-time threat intelligence to keep your environment secure. You'll gain an understanding of how it integrates with other security measures and how it can form a key component of a holistic cybersecurity strategy.
