The systems that influence physical processes now extend beyond industrial control systems to include connected operational technologies (IoT/IIoT), cloud services, remote access infrastructure, and other operational dependencies. A failure in any of these systems stops production, affects safety, or compromises output quality. Traditional OT cybersecurity was built around protecting control systems. Today's challenge is to protect every system whose failure affects physical operations. In this webinar, we will introduce Extended Operational Technology (xOT) and explain why organizations need to rethink the scope of operational cybersecurity. We'll explore what has changed, how xOT reshapes risk, and what it means for security teams across manufacturing, energy, oil and gas, and other critical industries. We will also discuss how to operationalize xOT - from defining the systems that influence physical operations, to understanding and validating risk, continuously monitoring the environment, and improving resilience over time. You will leave with a practical mindset for evolving your xOT cybersecurity program to reflect how your operations function. ## Related Resources [![dragos\_\_linkedin\_\_xot-blog-series-announcement\_\_1200x630](https://hub.dragos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/dragos__linkedin__xot-blog-series-announcement__1200x630.png?width=1200&height=630&name=dragos__linkedin__xot-blog-series-announcement__1200x630.png)](https://www.dragos.com/blog/xot-extended-operational-technology?hsLang=en) BLOG ##### [Defining xOT: What Is Extended Operational Technology?](https://www.dragos.com/blog/xot-extended-operational-technology?hsLang=en) [![dragos\_\_social\_\_emberai-blog\_\_1200x630](https://hub.dragos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/dragos__social__emberai-blog__1200x630.png?width=1200&height=630&name=dragos__social__emberai-blog__1200x630.png)](https://www.dragos.com/blog/introducing-dragos-emberai?hsLang=en) BLOG ##### [What If Every Cybersecurity Analyst Had Ten Years of OT Experience?](https://www.dragos.com/blog/introducing-dragos-emberai?hsLang=en) [![dragos\_\_linkedin-post\_\_gartner-mq-report-2026\_\_view-report\_\_1200x630](https://hub.dragos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/dragos__linkedin-post__gartner-mq-report-2026__view-report__1200x630.png?width=1200&height=630&name=dragos__linkedin-post__gartner-mq-report-2026__view-report__1200x630.png)](https://www.dragos.com/resources/report/gartner-magic-quadrant-cps-protection-platforms?hsLang=en) REPORT ##### [Dragos is a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for CPS Protection Platforms](https://www.dragos.com/resources/report/gartner-magic-quadrant-cps-protection-platforms?hsLang=en) ### Want to see the Dragos Platform in action?
