Agenda

Introduction to OT - Gain a clear understanding of what Operational Technology is, how it differs from IT environments, and why it plays such a critical role in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, transport, and energy. We’ll explore how OT connects directly to physical processes and why that changes the way we approach security.
Selling OT vs Selling IT - Explore the differences between selling into IT environments and OT environments. Learn how to shift the conversation away from purely technical features toward the operational risks, downtime impacts, and safety concerns that drive OT decision making.
Convincing Decision Makers - Identify the motivations of both technical and business stakeholders in OT. We’ll break down which arguments land effectively (uptime, safety, compliance) and which ones don’t (feature-lists and jargon). Practical roleplays will help sharpen your ability to tailor the pitch to the right audience.
OT Solutions and Services - Understand the portfolio of solutions that resonate in OT environments, including ruggedized hardware, network segmentation, visibility platforms, and lifecycle services. Learn how to combine these elements into an OT-specific value proposition that feels complete and relevant to industrial customers.
Aligning Security with Business Value - Translate technical OT capabilities into business outcomes that matter to executives and plant managers alike. We’ll connect security to uptime, compliance obligations, operational efficiency, and brand reputation, showing how OT security is not a blocker but a business enabler.
Wrap-Up and Toolkit - Review the core takeaways and leave with a concise set of practical tools. This includes a “Top 10 OT Sales Talking Points” cheat sheet that you can apply immediately in customer conversations.
