Challenges in OT Threat Hunting
This session outlines the core challenges of threat hunting in OT and ICS environments. Osamah Alssagg addresses the gaps that make industrial networks hard to analyse, including limited visibility, legacy devices, unsafe scanning constraints, flat architectures, weak segmentation, and incomplete telemetry. The talk explains how operational factors, vendor dependencies, and missing process context create detection blind spots. It also highlights practical focus areas that improve hunting effectiveness across visibility, architecture, data quality, and OT-specific intelligence.
