Cyber Risk for Critical Industries

As the digital and industrial worlds collide and converge, CISO’s face unprecedented challenges in understanding and managing cyber-physical risk. Traditional approaches honed in IT environments often fall short when applied to the complex, interconnected ecosystems of operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. This moderated discussion will explore how security leaders can rethink risk management frameworks, enhance visibility into cyber-physical threats, and adopt new strategies to safeguard critical infrastructure. Join industry peers to discuss the evolving role of the CISO in this emerging risk landscape and how to lead your organization toward greater resilience.
