About this event
Series Title: IT/OT Cyber Safety Webinar Series
In this webinar series, NCC Group and our special guests will explore the critical intersection of IT & Operational Technology (OT) cyber security convergence and the safety considerations in industrial environments. We’ll address the unique challenges and opportunities that arise when legacy operational technologies meet modern digital systems amid rising cyber threats.
The protection of revenue-generating operations is paramount, but looking beyond financial risk – what about the threat to human life?
Malfunctioning operational assets can create safety risks, emphasizing the need for accelerated investment in operational technology and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) security.
As we navigate this new era of IT/OT convergence, a robust, integrated approach to cyber security and business continuity is not just advisable—it's imperative for operational resilience and safety.
Join our expert panels of IT, OT and Safety professionals and hear real-world examples as we explore the three key phases and discuss strategies for combined resilience within three webinars:
Webinar 3:
Optimize – Continuous improvement of your cyber resilience
Following on from our first two webinars:
Baseline Readiness - Prerequisites for OT Security
Operationalize - The Key to IT/OT/Safety Convergence.
The next webinar in our series will further expand the theme of OT/IT and Safety convergence to explore next level strategies that embed robust cyber-physical resilience within real world industrial environments.
Join our expert panel of IT, OT and Safety professionals as we discuss key ways to navigate continuous cyber security management and maintain combined resilience.
This session will cover:
✅ Managed OT visibility & monitoring approaches – how to continuously evolve and improve
✅ How to control change & maintain a cohesive safety & security culture
