By linking production systems with business platforms, cloud infrastructures, and analytics tools, organizations can enhance operational performance, streamline maintenance, and speed up decision-making.  However, this evolution also broadens the attack surface and exposes industrial systems to cybersecurity threats that traditional IT security methods were not built to handle. In many recent incidents, attacks do not initially target industrial systems. They typically originate in IT environments — through phishing, remote access exploitation, or unpatched vulnerabilities — before moving into OT systems, where consequences can be severe. In industrial environments, these incidents can result in: •    Production downtime •    Operational disruptions •    Significant financial losses •    Safety risks for employees and infrastructure Building an effective cybersecurity strategy in these environments requires a tailored approach — one that accounts for operational constraints, system availability, and cyber risk management.   Join us to discover practical strategies for tackling these challenges without interrupting operations. **👉**** REGISTER NOW — IT'S FREE** Why attend this webinar - **Gain a clearer understanding of the risks linked to IT/OT convergence **and how cyberattacks can spread from IT systems into industrial environments - **Identify the blind spots of OT cybersecurity,** including limited asset visibility, network segmentation challenges, and access management gaps - **Discover practical approaches to strengthen threat detection **and monitoring across connected industrial infrastructures - **Learn how to build incident response strategies **tailored to production environments while safeguarding operational continuity - **Explore ways to align IT, OT, and cybersecurity teams **to more effectively manage risks in increasingly interconnected environments Agenda Our Blair and StreamScan experts will spend one hour with you demystifying the reality of IT/OT convergence and what it means in practice for securing your operations. Understanding the risks of IT/OT convergence •    How attacks originate in IT environments and reach OT systems •    Why industrial infrastructures have become preferred targets •    Operational and financial impacts of OT incidents Identifying blind spots in industrial cybersecurity •    Limited visibility over OT assets •    Poorly segmented industrial networks •    Uncontrolled remote access •    Challenges related to industrial protocols Improving monitoring across industrial environments •    Behavior and anomaly-based detection •    Monitoring compatible with industrial protocols •    Increased visibility into system flows and dependencies Structuring incident response for OT environments •    Effective coordination between IT, OT, and security teams •    Containment decisions that support operational continuity •    Response plans adapted to production environments **👉**** RESERVE YOUR SPOT NOW!** Experts : ![Roger Ouellet Novipro](https://www.blairtechnology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Roger%20Ouellet%20Novipro.jpg?width=100&height=100&name=Roger%20Ouellet%20Novipro.jpg)**Roger Ouellet** Director of Security Practice   NOVIPRO ![Francis Pilon StreamScan](https://www.blairtechnology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Francis%20Pilon%20StreamScan.png?width=100&height=100&name=Francis%20Pilon%20StreamScan.png)**Francis Pilon** Account Director StreamScan ![Karim Ganame StreamScan](https://www.blairtechnology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Karim%20Ganame%20StreamScan.png?width=100&height=100&name=Karim%20Ganame%20StreamScan.png)**Karim Ganame, PhD, GCIH, GCIA, CISSP** Head of Cybersecurity | CMMC Expert StreamScan   About StreamScan StreamScan helps manufacturing companies and organizations in the aerospace, defense, and critical infrastructure sectors protect themselves against cyberattacks.
