Privileged Access for Federal OT and Facility Control Systems

What will I learn?

Where privileged access fits alongside the identity provider and governance stack you already run, including the service accounts and vendor identities that stack has never seen.
How to add control where availability and safety come first: sessions brokered through jump hosts at the boundary, nothing installed on controllers, and break-glass workflows.
Why third-party and vendor access is where most successful programs start, and how to answer who connected, to what, when, and what they did.

Federal operational technology and facility control systems (physical access control, base and installation utilities, labs, ports, building automation, HVAC, and DoD Facility-Related Control Systems) used to depend on the air gap for protection. IT/OT convergence and modernization have closed that gap, but the old identity problems remain: shared accounts, hard-coded passwords that never change, and vendor access that stays active long after the contract ends.

Join Delinea's Phil D’Angio and Albert Beattie, with Chris Tilley of CriticalTilt, Inc. and David Charnick of Emergent, for a panel discussion on how Federal teams govern privileged access across OT and facility control systems without putting uptime at risk.

Get answers to these important questions:

How do we add control to a system we cannot patch on a normal timeline or take offline?
Is this really an OT problem, or an identity problem that finally caught up with OT?
We already segment. Why is segmentation not enough?
Can this run where we cannot use the cloud: on-premises, self-hosted or air-gapped?
