Details

We are in the midst of a fourth Industrial Revolution that is driving a re-evaluation of the approach towards cybersecurity in manufacturing, for both IT and OT infrastructure.

In an effort to protect their assets from attacks leading to safety issues and operational downtime, manufacturers are reconsidering traditional approaches to disaster recovery and resiliency planning, with cybersecurity now positioning itself as a foundational pillar of digital transformation.

This is a unique opportunity to build partnerships with senior cyber security professionals from Canada’s Automotive, Aerospace, Chemical, FMCG, Food & Beverage, Machinery and Pharmaceutical industries, while participating in the discussions shaping this summit.
