Securing the Industrial Identity Fabric: Tackling Identity Risk in Global Manufacturing

As manufacturing environments become more interconnected and identity-driven, securing the industrial identity fabric is critical to operational resilience and cyber defense. In this 30-minute session, we explore why identity is now the new perimeter—especially in complex, hybrid OT/IT manufacturing ecosystems.

Join Martin, Dave and Jonathan as they unpack the evolving identity landscape at the industrial edge, covering:

• The convergence of IT and OT and its impact on identity security
• Managing non-human identities like bots, machines, and IoT devices
• Securing third-party and supply chain access with just-in-time controls
• Meeting compliance demands through automated identity governance
