Patching Treats Symptoms. Segmentation Cures Disease. We’ll Show You How.
Network segmentation provides superior long-term security compared to reactive patching alone. This webinar demonstrates how to implement segmentation strategies that reduce attack surface and contain threats across IoT/OT environments. Learn why segmentation should precede patching in your cybersecurity strategy.
What you'll learn
- Understand why network segmentation is more effective than patching for device security
- Develop a segmentation strategy for IoT and OT assets in your environment
- Identify which connected devices should be isolated based on risk assessment

Frequently asked questions
- Why is network segmentation more effective than patching for IoT and OT device security?
- Patching addresses known vulnerabilities reactively, but many IoT/OT devices cannot be patched due to operational constraints or vendor support limitations. Network segmentation provides proactive, long-term protection by isolating vulnerable assets and limiting lateral movement, regardless of patch status. ORDR's approach demonstrates how segmentation reduces attack surface and contains threats before they can propagate across your environment.
- How do I identify which IoT and OT devices should be segmented based on risk?
- A proper risk assessment evaluates device criticality, vulnerability exposure, operational requirements, and connectivity needs. ORDR's methodology helps you prioritize segmentation by categorizing assets based on their security posture and business impact, ensuring you isolate the highest-risk connected devices first. This risk-driven approach maximizes security ROI while minimizing operational disruption.
- What's the best order to implement segmentation and patching in my cybersecurity strategy?
- Segmentation should precede or run parallel to patching, as it provides immediate containment benefits while patching programs develop. ORDR's webinar explains why establishing network boundaries and asset isolation first creates a stronger foundation for your security posture. Once segmentation is in place, patching becomes a secondary layer of defense rather than your primary security control.
