Cyber Crossroads: Navigating OT Security Risks in Manufacturing & Distribution
October 22, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Our 2025 Top Risks Survey of board members and C-suite executives globally revealed that cyber threats are still a primary concern. And with good reason – cyber risks impact not only IT systems but the Operations Technology (OT) running their operations. With the convergence of OT and IT systems, the threat landscape is only increasing, so these issues are expected to persist through the next decade.
Join this session to explore the evolving threat landscape impacting the “shop floor” of the manufacturing and distribution industry. Participants will gain insights into the fundamental imperatives for implementing and assessing security measures in IT and OT environments, including tips and perspectives on how recommended cyber practices may be adapted to OT systems.
This webinar is part of our ongoing series examining critical themes shaping the future of the manufacturing and distribution industry.
