Endpoints remain one of the most vulnerable entry points in both IT and OT ecosystems, even as overall security measures evolve. Zero Trust approaches offer a structured way to reduce attack surfaces by strictly controlling applications, user privileges and data access. This presentation explores how modern endpoint security methods such as allow listing, process containment, granular privilege management and continuous monitoring can be applied to prevent unauthorized access, limit ransomware impact and reduce operational risks. The focus lies on practical strategies, integration considerations and how organizations can introduce Zero Trust step by step without disrupting industrial operations.

• What role do allow listing, process isolation and privilege control play in preventing endpoint based attacks?
• How can Zero Trust principles be applied across diverse IT OT landscapes without compromising operational continuity?
• Which measures help reduce software vulnerabilities, script misuse and privilege escalation in a sustainable way?
