For the fifth consecutive year, manufacturing is the most targeted industry for cyberattacks globally. As IT and OT networks converge, legacy protocols—once protected by air-gaps—are now exposed to ransomware and credential theft. Modern connectivity is essential, but OT demands a secure-by-design model to protect operational uptime and enhance safety to safeguard human life. In an era defined by agentic AI and software-defined power, authorization and authentication of those end points will be critical.  

Join Yubico and Schneider Electric to explore how to bridge the gap between legacy infrastructure and a resilient future where post-quantum computing and AI are present. We will dive into how identity-centric security serves as the foundation for the next generation of industrial operations.

We’ll cover:

• Industry trends: How AI and software-defined power are redefining the OT risk profile for high-tech manufacturing. 
• Navigating international guidance: A look at global compliance standards, including the 2026 Secure Connectivity Principles for OT, and SL3 for IEC-62443.   
• The Schneider Electric journey to modern MFA: How they achieved IEC-62443 certification by integrating hardware passkeys into power operation SCADA systems and a hardware security module to ensure component integrity across the supply chain.
• Making the business case: How to act as an internal advocate to your C-suite by aligning security needs with business priorities.
