Operational Technology Security Conference

Please note this event is taking place under Chatham House rules.

Join us for techUK's inaugural Operational Technology Security Conference on Wednesday 17 September, where we will shine a spotlight on strengthening the resilience of sectors using operational technology.  

Operational Technology (OT) refers to the hardware and software used to monitor and control physical devices, processes and infrastructure inside industrial operations. Maintaining the continued functionality of these systems is not only a cyber security issue, it’s a matter of national resilience and safety.  

As cyber threats become more sophisticated, it is critical that sectors such as manufacturing, energy, transportation and utilities treat OT security as a top priority. It takes end users and vendors working together with government stakeholders to ensure this happens.  

This conference will bring these stakeholders together for an in-depth discussion on the evolving threat landscape, the unique challenges faced within industrial environments and the cyber security of supply chains which are becoming increasingly automated.
