With Operational Technology Software-Defined Networ king (OT SDN)\, LAN switching can be optimized for the specific requiremen ts of the environment. OT SDN allows you to purpose-engineer your networks like you purpose-engineer your critical control system. An OT SDN solutio n prioritizes network security\, situational awareness\, reliability\, and high-speed performance for critical applications.\n\nThis session will co ver the following topics:\n\n- Comparing traditional switches to software- defined networking (SDN) switches\n- Traffic engineering of OT networks\n- SDN benefits and performance\n- SDN interoperability with traditional net works\n- SDN design and deployment options\n\nPAYMENT METHOD: Pay online v ia registration.
