Zero Trust for Operational Technology has reached an inflection point. With the Department of War’s release of Zero Trust for Operational Technology Activities and Outcomes, defense organizations now have clearer direction on how Zero Trust principles are expected to be applied within operational, safety-critical environments.

This expert panel discussion will explore what the DoW Zero Trust for OT guidance requires, how it differs from traditional IT-focused Zero Trust approaches, and what effective implementation looks like in real-world OT environments. Panelists will examine scope, the seven Zero Trust pillars, and key activities and outcomes across facility systems, industrial control systems, logistics infrastructure, and other mission-enabling OT.

Attendees will gain insight into how to translate Zero Trust guidance into enforceable controls, including identity-based access, segmentation, privileged access management, and continuous enforcement, while balancing legacy system constraints, uptime requirements, safety, and mission assurance.
