CISO Connect: Cybersecurity in an Era of Industrial IoT
Location
London, UK
(Private executive dining venue. Final venue to be confirmed.)
Why is this event being held?
As manufacturing environments become increasingly connected, the attack surface has expanded far beyond traditional IT systems. Industrial IoT, OT networks, legacy control systems, and cloud platforms are now tightly interlinked, creating new cyber risks that many organisations are still struggling to govern effectively.
This private CISO Connect dinner brings together senior security, technology, and risk leaders to explore how cybersecurity strategies must evolve in an era of Industrial IoT, OT/IT convergence, and smart manufacturing.
The focus is on real-world challenges CISOs face today, not theoretical frameworks or vendor-led narratives.
What we will discuss
This will be a closed-door, peer-led discussion covering topics such as:
• Securing Industrial IoT and OT environments without disrupting operations
• Managing cyber risk across converged IT and OT infrastructures
• Visibility and monitoring challenges in industrial networks
• Governance models for cybersecurity in manufacturing environments
• Balancing innovation, connectivity, and operational resilience
• Incident response and recovery planning for industrial cyber events
• Lessons learned from recent OT and IoT security incidents
The conversation will centre on practical experiences, trade-offs in decision-making, and how CISOs are adapting their strategies to protect increasingly complex environments.
