About this Event
Protecting Critical Infrastructure in a Connected World
AI and advanced automation are arriving across mining, water, energy, defence and transport faster than most governance models have kept pace with. Our position is a simple one: this is a shift worth making, and it can be made safely, provided the foundation underneath it is secure, segmented and continuously monitored.
The evening is a chance to connect with your operational technology (OT) peers and hear from people working at the front line of both digital transformation and OT defence. We will talk candidly about what is working, what has gone badly elsewhere, and what a defensible path forward actually looks like.
We will start with drinks and canapés, followed by a brief address from:
- Jeremy Hulse, Executive General Manager of Cyber Security, SAGE Group
- Jason Pearce, Field Chief Technology Officer, Claroty
- Gareth Williams, Head of Digital, SAGE Group
What we will cover:
- Where AI and automation are genuinely delivering value in OT, and where they are still marketing
- The secure and monitored foundation that makes digital transformation defensible rather than reckless
- Asset visibility and continuous monitoring as the precondition for any autonomy in the plant
- New exposure introduced by AI-enabled vendors, remote access and data egress from the OT zone
- The questions boards and regulators are beginning to ask about AI in critical infrastructure
- Practical first steps you can take in the next ninety days
