About the webinar

Most security leaders already know their factory environments are at risk. Many have tried to address it with VLANs, network access control (NAC), or air-gapping. These approaches were built for IT—not for plant floors with thousands of legacy devices that don’t support agents or certificates. And when something changes inside the plant (a machine is installed, moved, or retired), teams must rewrite policies. Visibility into east-west OT traffic is often limited, and segmentation ends up as written policy more than enforced control.

Today, Eaton secures 100+ factories with Zscaler’s Zero Trust Branch. In this webinar, Eaton’s senior manager of cybersecurity engineering, John Millsaps, will share how his team achieved agentless microsegmentation, enforced least-privilege policies for east-west communication, and measurably reduced lateral-movement risk across zones, sites, and IT/OT boundaries.

This session covers:

  • Where they started (in the context of the Purdue Model)

  • How they gained visibility into thousands of devices on the manufacturing floor

  • How they approached microsegmentation of critical systems

  • What policies they implemented to govern east-west traffic

  • The outcomes they’ve seen since rolling it out
