Air-Gapped Doesn’t Mean Safe: Securing File Transfers into OT Environments

Many organisations rely on air-gapped networks to protect critical operational technology (OT) environments. However, cyber threats can still be introduced through trusted files, software updates and removable media.

Join this webinar to explore the risks associated with file transfers into OT environments and learn practical approaches for implementing secure, auditable media sanitisation processes.

During this session, you will learn:

• Why removable media remains a significant OT security risk
• The purpose and value of a Sheep Dip process
• The limitations of traditional antivirus-based scanning
• Best practices for secure file transfer and media sanitisation
• Practical steps to improve governance and operational resilience

This session is ideal for professionals working within Energy & Utilities, Water, Oil & Gas, Manufacturing, Transport and Critical National Infrastructure sectors seeking to strengthen OT cybersecurity and file transfer controls.
