OT Threat Landscape in Semiconductor Manufacturing: From Risk Awareness to Action

Manufacturing continues to be a prime target for malware and ransomware, with semiconductor environments facing added risk due to high automation, legacy systems, and strict uptime requirements. This session examines the key OT attack vectors impacting fabs and equipment vendors, the resulting operational impact, and the control areas that deliver the fastest risk reduction. Attendees will gain a threat‑to‑control view focused on supplier compliance (E187/E188), fit‑for‑purpose OT controls, and governance across the asset lifecycle—providing a practical roadmap from awareness to measurable risk reduction.
