Mario Blažević and Andrija Grgić

In the OT world, it's not about 'Ever tried? Ever failed? Try again, fail better!' It's more like 'Fail once, and you might not get another shot to innovate.' The adoption of an OT Security - Operations Center (OT SOC) has never been more crucial, especially with the NIS2 directive and its accompanying regulations knocking on our digital doors. But wait, integrating and managing OT SOC services within critical infrastructure? It's no walk in the park.
Join Diverto in this presentation as we unravel the challenges, share our experiences, and draw valuable conclusions. In the world of managed SOC in OT environments, we'll explore whether it's really a breeze or if there are hidden storm clouds on the horizon. Don't miss it!
