Digital Security For Critical Infrastructure
Join us for our CIO & CISO Detroit Membership Dinner on November 17th. The event will unite visionary leaders and industry experts to examine the most pressing issues of the information technology, data, and security sector.
The evening includes peer-to-peer networking, a 5 star dining experience, and a fantastic presentation from our host, Fortinet.
As digital transformation continues, the number and type of devices connecting to the industrial network – smart sensors, valves, and gauges – expands the attack surface making industrial environments low-hanging fruit for an attack. Cloud adoption has also increased to improve data analytics and support the growing need for remote access. As headlines highlight, attackers have industrial organizations in their sites. OT environments can be difficult to defend due to the mix of modern and legacy equipment. This panel of OT experts will discuss the threats, challenges, and strategies being used to secure industrial environments including cloud connectivity, 5G and industrial IoT devices.
See you there! The event is for exclusive VIPs!
