The manufacturing sector is the backbone of economies worldwide, providing jobs, innovation, and essential goods. However, as technology advances, so do the threats that can disrupt this vital industry. To address these challenges and develop proactive strategies, we invite you to this (CS)²AI Online™ Symposium on Securing the Manufacturing Sector.

Event Agenda

Session 1 :

Securing the Core: NIS2 Compliance for Multi-National Manufacturing Organizations

Featuring Hamish Wishart (Senior Consultant Cyber Security at KPMG)

​

In the increasingly vulnerable cybersecurity landscape, the manufacturing sector stands as a key target for security incidents. Upholding NIS2 compliance is not just a necessity— it's a strategic advantage. This talk offers exclusive insights into driving NIS2 compliance in a multi-national manufacturing environment where organizations must manage facilities in multiple EU Member States.

You will learn tailored collaboration strategies with site personnel for comprehensive risk ownership and effective incident detection and response. We will delve into 'quick wins' for immediate security boosts and outline a strategic long-term roadmap. This session aims to equip attendees with the tools needed to bolster OT security and transform what we see as the common pain points into areas of strength.

Session 3: 

Tales from the Crypt

Featuring Aamir Lakhani (Global Security Strategist and Researcher at Fortinet)

​

Attacks on operational technology (OT) — the systems controlling industrial equipment, processes, and events —have leaped from Hollywood screens into reality. What once seemed like special-effects fiction in disaster movies about nuclear meltdowns, power grid collapses, and poisoned water systems is now a genuine threat. OT and manufacturing attacks are not new, but their impact on modern life is more significant than ever.
