Rapid7 and Carahsoft invite you to join us for a 30 minute webinar that will feature Ben Garber, Security Solutions Engineer at Rapid7, diving into important information on operational technology (OT) basics and security principles.

Operational technology controls the automated processes that run our national infrastructure, public utilities, and private manufacturers. Compromises of IT systems can leak sensitive corporate or personal data leading to financial losses or potential embarrassment, whereas compromises in OT systems can lead physical damages or even loss of life.

Ben will be discussing the differences between Remote Terminal Unit and Programmable Logic Controller devices and how they can each benefit your organization. We will also cover protocols and standards necessary for proper implementation of operational technology.
