IT-SA 2025: 
New Answers to Old Problems

When IT and OT have the same concerns but different solutions, it’s time to think differently. At it-sa 2025, David Petrikat, AMDT’s Chief Strategy and Communications Officer, illustrated this disparity in his keynote, setting the stage for one of the show’s highlights: the launch of Octovision.

Driving Resilience in Manufacturing

In his talk, "Rethinking OT Security: Resilience Through Secure Machine Configuration,” our Chief Strategy and Communications Officer highlighted the key differences between IT and OT security. While IT environments can rely on rapid updates and well-defined responsibilities, uptime is paramount in production. Systems that were never designed for connectivity cannot simply be “patched.” OT security requires rethinking IT principles and adapting them to the realities of industrial processes, people, and machines.

Octovision Makes Its World Debut

To truly understand production, you need more than isolated data points; you need the big picture. Octovision provides exactly that. This solution expands Octoplant with data-driven intelligence drawn directly from machine data. The result is a complete, real-time inventory of all shop floor assets combined with a comprehensive risk and vulnerability analysis for management and compliance purposes. The outcome? Maximum transparency, clear courses of action, and a security approach that seamlessly integrates into existing systems. Learn more about Octovision.

What remains is gratitude. Thank you to every visitor who made the launch of Octovision such a special moment.

It-sa 2025 proved one thing: OT security requires new approaches, and we're developing them.
