DirectDefense at RSAC 2026: Showcasing OT Defense in Action
Operational technology security is no longer a side conversation at RSA. It is central to the broader cybersecurity dialogue.
As industrial environments become more connected, threat activity continues to evolve, and regulatory expectations increase, organizations are being pushed to strengthen how they detect and respond to incidents in OT environments.
At RSA Conference 2026, DirectDefense is partnering with Insane Cyber and Garland Technology to bring that conversation to life.
A Live OT Environment Experience
DirectDefense, Insane Cyber, and Garland Technology will host a live OT-focused activation at Booth S-0566 in the Moscone South Expo, featuring active PLCs and HMIs and demonstrating how modern detection, response, and Purple Team collaboration operate across industrial networks.
The experience is designed to spark meaningful conversations around:
- Visibility across industrial assets
- Coordination between technology and operators
- Response execution in environments where uptime and safety are critical
- Applying Purple Team principles to OT environments
Advancing OT Security Conversations
OT security demands a different mindset than traditional IT security. Detection strategies must account for industrial protocols, legacy systems, and safety constraints. Response plans must balance security action with operational continuity.
Throughout RSA, our Chief Security Officer, Christopher Walcutt, will be onsite to discuss:
- OT security maturity and roadmap development
- Detection and response strategies for ICS environments
- Purple Team methodologies adapted for operational networks
- Lessons learned from real-world OT incident response engagements
