OT Industrial Security Workshop by Fortinet
Room: 360 B
*Attendees need to bring their own laptop computers for this workshop
Industries that rely industrial control systems (ICS) are looking to add new capabilities and improve operational efficiencies through the latest digital innovations. But as operational technology (OT) environments incorporate IT-based devices and applications, and integrate network connectivity, new pathways for cyber criminals arise exposing critical production systems to cyberattack.
Today, there remains a high degree of variation in the OT security practices and capabilities used, including practices for securing legacy and modern equipment. To protect the critical infrastructure in OT, industrial organizations need to harness the power of a defense in depth strategy to secure their data, systems, and users, as well as minimize the risk of attackers gaining access to their critical infrastructure.
During this technical workshop, we will explore how the Fortinet Security Fabric provides the solution needed to maintain availability and reliability in your OT environment.
What you’ll learn:
- Traditional and modern segmentation methods for operational environments including the risks associated with a flat network architecture
- Segmentation practices to support compliance with NIST, IEC 62443 and other operational cybersecurity frameworks.
Applying and enforcing access policies based on who and what is connected. - Dynamically assigning role-based controls to group applications, link data, and limit access to specific groups in order to fortify OT defenses providing fine-grained control that adjusts access based on continuously assessing the trust of devices and users.
- Value of investing in a platform to deliver cybersecurity for all layers of the OT and IT network.
- Defense in Depth Using the Fortinet Security Fabric (60-70 minutes)
- ICS Platform built in security, secure comms, segmentation, system integrity, org security
- Asset Mgmt, Access Control, Logging Monitor, Risk management
- Fortiguard Services for ICS / OT
- Architectures
- Purdue / ISA 99 Reference Model
- ISA / IEC 62443 Reference Architecture

Best Practices in Building Mobile-Responsive Industrial Applications – Training by Inductive Automation
Room: 361 D
Travis Cox, Inductive Automation
Attendees need to bring a laptop or tablet for this training.
Mobile apps have become exponentially more important as smart phones and tablets continue to advance and become the dominant computing devices around the world. This means creating an app that is easy to navigate, visually appealing, and functionally consistent is more necessary than ever before. However, there is no user manual to tell you what to include in your mobile app or what structure is best for your purposes. In this training, we’ll present a comprehensive layout for building your new mobile app. Join us as we outline our best practices for mobile app creation and how to achieve great mobile interface design.
Session Objectives:
UI/UX best practices
Understanding mobile-responsive design
Mobile app structures, prototyping, ergonomics and visual style
