Technology and Strategy Innovations for Ensuring Cyber Resiliency
in Critical Control System Networks
Organizations in manufacturing, transportation, energy, water treatment, healthcare and other critical sectors face the increasingly present threat of cyber attacks to their industrial control systems (ICS). Advanced persistent threat (APT) groups have the resources and support to mount attacks that are complex, orchestrated, and ever-more sophisticated. Operators of critical infrastructure face the critical task of continually safeguarding key OT and IT systems from this kind of compromise and damage.
The
ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity Symposium and Exhibition, June 3-4, 2025 in Chicago, is focused on providing real-world preparation to critical infrastructure operators for successfully dealing with cybersecurity threats. Emerging enabling technologies and strategies are examined in detail, with the aim of preparing asset owners for the threats that confront their unique type of ICS/SCADA infrastructures.
If your organization is faced with safeguarding critical infrastructure from challenges such as ransomware and nation-state APT actors, this is a must-attend opportunity to network one-on-one with key colleagues, industry thought leaders and solution providers. Consider giving a presentation and sharing your expertise and insights with fellow ICS professionals -- the
Call for Speakers is currently open.
Topics to be addressed include:
- The current status of nation-state level APTs
- Defense-in-depth strategies for ICS/SCADA environments
- Meeting and exceeding regulatory requirements
- Protecting ICS networks from ransomware attacks
- Architecting a network security solution to address cyber threats
- Deception technology and other emerging innovations
- Conducting in-depth risk assessments
- Extending protections to cloud-connected OT assets
- Machine learning and AI in next-gen ICS cybersecurity
- Addressing the growing convergence between IT and OT networks
- Cybersecurity for operational technologies and smart systems
- Software-defined perimeters for securing ICS remote access
- Restricting communication paths and limiting potential attack vectors
- Reducing supply chain risks for ICS networks
- The role of network monitoring and centralized security analytics
- Partnerships for public-private collaboration and information sharing
- Case studies and lessons learned: Insights and key takeaways across industry verticals
- And more
In-Depth Discussion and Information Sharing: The interactive format of the Symposium fosters group discussion among peers of critical challenges and strategies for addressing them successfully
SCADA/ICS/OT Infrastructure Focus: The Symposium zeros in on issues of special relevance to ICS asset operators in the U.S. -- versus more general enterprise cyber security topics
Objective & Authoritative: The agenda is driven by practitioners and innovators at critical infrastructure organizations -- learn directly from the experts and fellow peers on the front lines of network security
Ample Networking: The emphasis is on the real-world case studies, best practices, and lessons learned -- ample time is set aside in the exhibits area to meet with solution providers and refine your cyber security strategy
