Abstract: <\/strong>Operational<\/span>\u00a0Technology (OT) environments are increasingly becoming prime targets for sophisticated cyberattacks as the convergence of IT and OT expands the industrial attack surface. Critical infrastructure, manufacturing systems, and industrial control environments now face advanced threats ranging from ransomware and supply-chain compromises to targeted attacks on industrial control systems (ICS). Traditional security approaches often struggle to provide adequate visibility and\u00a0<\/span>timely<\/span>\u00a0detection in OT environments due to legacy systems, limited patching windows, and the need for continuous availability. This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is\u00a0<\/span>emerging<\/span>\u00a0as a transformative force in OT security. The current\u00a0<\/span>webinar<\/span>\u00a0explores how AI-driven security solutions are enabling organizations to shift from reactive\u00a0<\/span>defense<\/span>\u00a0to proactive threat detection by\u00a0<\/span>leveraging<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>behavioral<\/span>\u00a0analytics, anomaly detection, and predictive intelligence. The\u00a0<\/span>webinar<\/span>\u00a0will also discuss how AI can help\u00a0<\/span>identify<\/span>\u00a0early indicators of compromise, reduce incident response times, and strengthen cyber resilience across industrial environments. Join us to understand the evolving OT\u00a0<\/span>threat landscape, key challenges in securing cyber-physical systems, and how AI-powered security strategies can help organizations detect, respond to, and mitigate attacks before they disrupt operations.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
