OT Vulnerability Management for Energy Systems: What Works – and What Fails

Summary

Traditional IT approaches for vulnerability management break down in operational technology (OT) environments – especially in energy systems. In this 45-minute webinar, we’ll explore why standard practices like constant patching and vulnerability scans do not work in this context, and how to design a risk-focused vulnerability management process tailored to the operational constraints of the power grid.

Using real-world insights from energy systems and live access to our specialized OT vulnerability database, we’ll highlight the most common pitfalls, share current vulnerability trends for 2025, and outline actionable steps for building an OT vulnerability program for power plants, substations, and SCADA networks.

Objectives

• Learn how to set up a vulnerability management process for OT systems
• Understanding where to find actionable OT vulnerability information
• How to match vendor security advisories to your OT devices
• Applying best practices in exposure management for utility automation devices

 

Content

• How to design a vulnerability management process that fits your operational realities
• Where reliable OT-specific vulnerability data actually comes from (and why CISA isn’t enough)
• What the latest 2025 OT vulnerability statistics show – and how to prioritize your next steps
