During this Ransom-Aware OT Defense Summit, we firstly define and identify current security threats to your critical infrastructure, revealing how bad actors target industrial operations on a global scale. Secondly, we address current approaches to OT cyber security and the best courses of action to take, should you be the target of an attack.

In Keynotes, interactive Panel Debates and Group Discussions, join us as we tackle these topics in two session tracks. Firstly, Educate: where we will discuss the current state of ransomware and secondly, Solve: where we offer comprehensive strategies for prevention and recovery, when time is truly of the essence.

Ransomware is not only the most recent threat but also the most worrisome one. It does not  discriminate; everyone is a target. Learn how new threats are driving technology and behaviors, how to calculate risk, and justify (or not) investment in cyber security based on common attack strategies.
