Exposed OT, Real-World Consequences: Is Our Food and Water Supply at Risk?

What could happen if the systems that keep our water flowing and our food cold are exposed online?

Water utilities, supermarkets, and the warehouses that supply them rely on remote connections to monitor equipment, troubleshoot issues, and maintain operations across multiple locations. However, when those systems are exposed to the internet or access is poorly managed, the same connections can create opportunities for real-world disruption.

Drawing on Vedere Labs investigations into internet-exposed control systems and IoT sensors, this session will help attendees evaluate similar risks within their own environments. Join Forescout to learn what exposed systems can reveal, how attackers can misuse equipment controls and maintenance connections, and what steps organizations can take to reduce their exposure.

Attendees will leave with practical guidance for identifying who can control critical equipment, detecting unauthorized changes across sites, and strengthening visibility and governance over the systems that support essential services.
