To converge or not to converge! This is the OT question

Dallas and John will be co-presenting a hopefully entertaining and challenging discussion on the Pro's and Con's of convergence of OT and ICS networks and technologies.

Dallas will be playing the role of advocating for IT, OT, ICS convergence and bringing the full scope of Cyber Security tools and services across previously unmonitored and mostly unknown OT networks.

John will be playing the role of the advocate of maintaining and driving Air Gapping, Isolating and the separation of IT, OT and ICS Networks. Keeping things secure through Isolation, and reducing risk by not having them connected to the IT Security environments.

Dallas and John will be playing back and forth between each other debating and highlighting their positions and addressing concerns in the counter approach.

Intended to be light hearted and entertaining bouncing back and forth across the stage, while addressing critical decisions with repercussions that are far reaching and could directly result in life or death outcomes.
