While much of the industry focuses on IT safety, operational complexity is growing with advanced infrastructure, liquid cooling systems, and sophisticated facility management tools. Addressing risks requires a holistic approach that combines both digital IT protections and physical OT strategies, yet OT security is often overlooked.

This panel will assess strategies to guarantee OT safeguard, by addressing:

  • What are the risks when IT and OT aren’t aligned?
  • The importance of a security playbook is critical in an era of increasingly sophisticated threats
  • Physical perimeter protections for modern, high-density data centers
  • What strategies are in place for disaster recovery across both infrastructure and software?
