Keynote
summary
Examines operational technology (OT) risk in critical water systems, arguing that failures mainly come from obsolete OT equipment and lack of asset visibility rather than standard IT issues. Recommends applying maturity models and NIS/CNCS guidance, assessing risk across three vectors (technical vulnerabilities, human error, and external supplier/geopolitical events), and implementing regular tabletop exercises, role-based training, and layered physical and digital controls to ensure inventories, communications, and recovery procedures function.
