AI is changing how we operate, maintain, and defend industrial systems. From predictive maintenance and engineering analytics to OT network visibility, threat detection, and incident response assistance, AI offers new opportunities to improve industrial operations and cybersecurity but also introduces new risks. So, when is the right time to implement AI in ICS/OT, and what needs to happen before AI hits the plant floor, if at all?

Across electric power, oil and gas, water and wastewater, manufacturing, and transportation, engineering and cybersecurity teams have been busy seeking ways to understand AI for ICS/OT, and even practical ways to use AI while maintaining safety, reliability, and operational control.

The SANS ICS Solutions Track 2027, Chaired by Principal SANS Instructor, Dean Parsons brings these and other challenges and opportunities to life through live demonstrations, real-world case studies, and practical ICS/OT engineering and cybersecurity use cases.

Leading ICS/OT technology providers will demonstrate how AI, industrial security technologies, and engineering-aware solutions can improve operations, strengthen the SANS Five ICS Cybersecurity Critical Controls, and more controls and technologies, and help facilities, IT Security and OT Security, and Engineering teams, better protect critical infrastructure.
