Industrial cybersecurity programs are maturing, but the stakes continue to rise. As operational environments become more connected, organizations must look beyond bolted-on security controls and after-the-fact response toward a more proactive goal: engineering cyber risk out of industrial environments by design.
Led by survey author and SANS Instructor Jason Christopher, this virtual event brings together SANS expertise and industry thought leaders to explore findings from the 2027 SANS State of ICS/OT Security Survey. Go beyond the data as experts examine how secure-by-design principles, engineering practices, supply chain risk management, remote access, and evolving technologies can help organizations build safer, more resilient industrial operations.
Jason will also chair expert panel discussions exploring the real-world implications of the findings, lessons from recent incidents, and what it will take to move industrial cybersecurity from reactive defense toward Prevent by Design.
Why Join?
- Go beyond the survey results: Hear Jason Christopher and industry experts interpret the findings and discuss what they mean for the future of industrial cybersecurity.
- Explore Prevent by Design: Examine how organizations can move beyond adding security controls after deployment and begin engineering cyber risk out of industrial environments from the start.
- Connect cyber risk to physical consequences: Explore approaches designed to help ensure that even a successful cyber intrusion does not result in catastrophic safety or operational impacts.
- Examine the forces shaping OT security: Gain perspectives on secure-by-design practices, supply chain risk, remote access, evolving threats, regulatory requirements, and emerging technologies.
- Hear the industry debate: Join expert-led panel discussions on where ICS/OT security is making progress, where challenges remain, and how engineering and cybersecurity can work together to build more defensible operations.
- Benchmark your program: Take away practical, data-driven insights to evaluate your own approach and identify opportunities to strengthen security, safety, and operational resilience.
- Earn 3 CPE credits
Register now to explore the research, hear expert perspectives, and discover what it takes to move from reacting to cyber risk to preventing it by design.
