ABOUT THE PANEL
Securing Connected Industrial Systems
Connected machines, sensors and industrial platforms are becoming the operational backbone of modern manufacturing. As these systems grow more integrated, the risks associated with cyber threats, vulnerable devices and disrupted production also increase.
This panel explores how manufacturers can protect IoT ecosystems through real-time monitoring, zero-trust architectures, secure edge computing and stronger OT/IT convergence. Experts will discuss practical strategies for reducing cyber exposure while maintaining performance, connectivity and operational continuity.
The discussion will also address resilience against cyber-physical attacks and the measures required to safeguard the digital nervous system of smart manufacturing.
