Summary

On March 31, 2026, TXOne Networks and World Wide Technology will host a webinar focused on the critical gap in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity between threat detection and prevention. Industrial organizations are increasingly vulnerable as cyber threats can lead to operational disruptions before they are detected. The webinar will feature experts discussing the inadequacies of current detection-focused strategies and the need for a shift towards prevention-driven outcomes. Key speakers include Josh Beed from TXOne Networks and Enrique Martinez from WWT, who will share insights from real-world incidents where detection tools failed to prevent attacks. Attendees will learn about the necessary capabilities for effective prevention in OT environments and how to evaluate their current security investments. This event marks the beginning of a three-part series aimed at enhancing OT security practices. Key Points: • Detection alone is insufficient for preventing operational disruptions in OT environments. • Experts will discuss the need for a shift from detection to prevention-driven cybersecurity strategies. • The webinar is part of a three-part series aimed at improving OT security practices.
