ICS/OT Cyber risk in utilities can disrupt essential services, damage equipment, and impact safety and reliability.

The 2027 Utilities and Critical Infrastructure Forum brings together operators, engineers, cybersecurity practitioners, and industry leaders to explore practical ways to defend modern ICS/OT environments.

Topics include real-world attacks, ransomware, secure remote access, segmentation, network visibility, incident response, AI risks and opportunities, and alignment with the Five ICS Cybersecurity Critical Controls and survey data from recent data sets.

Attendees will leave with practical actions to strengthen resilience, improve detection and response, and safely adopt emerging technologies across ICS/OT critical infrastructure.
