CompTIA is hosting a webinar on September 29, 2026, to discuss the risks posed by the divide between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) teams in critical infrastructure sectors. Experts, including Dr. James Stanger from CompTIA, will explore how differing risk perspectives and incident response models can leave organizations vulnerable. A 2025 CompTIA report indicated that 94% of companies prioritize operational technology security, yet many still struggle with cross-training IT and OT staff. The webinar aims to provide strategies for improving communication and aligning teams to enhance resilience against modern threats. Key topics include misconceptions between IT and OT professionals and the importance of developing a shared risk vocabulary.
