Operational Technology a Concern?
"Hey Immersive Labs community, I'm curious about your experiences with Operational Technology (OT) in your organizations. With the increasing convergence of IT and OT across healthcare, education, and various industries, I'm seeing more medical devices, building automation systems, and industrial control systems becoming part of our daily operations. A few questions for the community: How are you currently handling OT security challenges in your environment? What knowledge gaps do you see in your teams when it comes to securing OT systems? For those in healthcare or campus environments - what specific OT challenges keep you up at night? What skills do you wish your teams had to better manage OT security? I believe this is becoming increasingly important as more connected devices and control systems enter our networks. Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences - both challenges and successes. Looking forward to learning from everyone's perspectives!"The Human Connection Challenge: S1E1 Update

Cannot seem to connect to Snaplabs via VPN
Hello, I’ve spun up a Snaplabs range - it’s a templated range based on shirts. I seem to be having trouble connecting to it though: I’ve added a VPN and tried to connect to it from several endpoints (including a cloud instance with no filtering) and the connection is never made on port 1194 I’ve tried adding an admin machine as it is necessary to connect to different machines via guacamole but I can’t seem to find it anymore. Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong place. Any push in the right direction would be highly appreciated. Thanks!This Week in The Human Connection

Hey, Is anyone else having weird issues with authentication when trying to be logged into both the main Immersive Labs platform, and this Community site in the same browser at the same time? If I load the Community site first, it mostly seems to play nice. But if I've got IL open in another tab, and come here, it seems to get stuck in weird authentication loops, where I log in, stick my creds in (for customer/EU), then get redirected back to the site to find it is still saying "Sign In" in the top right corner. I also could just see a load of discussions about one of the FIN7 labs when I wasn't logged in - but now that I'm logged in, I can't find the thread at all. Perhaps I should stop using MS Edge? ;-p Cheers, Steve.Give us your feedback on our new AI scenario generator
