Thursday, August 8, 10:20 AM – 2:10 PM

Oceanside D

Industrial organizations are rapidly digitalizing their environments to meet business goals, enhancing the productivity and efficiency of operations. However, these business decisions must be considered and carefully managed with a cybersecurity lens. This event explores the business view of digital transformation, assessing and providing insights into how cybersecurity can be incorporated and carefully balanced. Experts will detail how organizations will need to approach risk assessment and management with this in mind, mitigating, accepting and transferring risk in some instances to insurance. Alongside this business focus, the ICS summit will explore the cybersecurity implications of connectivity, with a focus on the benefits and challenges of deploying and layering Industrial IoT (IIoT) with OT networks.
