Maintaining continuous visibility over legacy and modern OT assets remains one of the greatest challenges in critical infrastructure. This session presents a practical approach to using robust open-source monitoring architectures, such as Zabbix, to bridge the visibility gap in industrial networks. We will discuss how to track asset health, monitor critical resources, and establish rapid-response workflows using real-time communication channels like WhatsApp for incident alerts. Attendees will discover how combining proactive monitoring with agile alerting enhances operational resilience and strengthens the security posture of the plant floor without overcomplicating the technical stack.

As part of Braskem’s industrial cybersecurity transformation, a global OT asset inventory solution was deployed across more than 40 sites in four countries. Covering over 8,000 assets, the initiative transformed a manual inventory process that previously took weeks into an automated, near real-time capability. Beyond improving asset visibility, the program established governance processes, strengthened collaboration between cybersecurity and automation teams, and created a trusted foundation for vulnerability management, compliance, risk assessment, and operational decision-making. This session will share the implementation journey, key challenges, lessons learned, and the value of turning OT data into actionable risk intelligence.
