Industrial Security Executives Discuss Cybersecurity Challenges and Opportunities

The 11-video season comprises interviews with IT/OT thought leaders and chief information and security officers (CISO) from critical-infrastructure companies, supported by senior specialists and industry advocates from Rockwell Automation.

Covering evolving cyber threats and the challenges of addressing stringent legislation, including NIS2, the series also uncovers the variety of opportunities and cost/time/efficiency savings delivered by robust holistic cybersecurity programs.

Ben Miller, chief information security officer, said: "As industrial organisations become more connected than ever, they face a range of threats, from increasingly sophisticated state actors, to hacktivists, to criminal groups launching ransomware attacks. The good news is that there are key controls that organisations can prioritise to be more secure against OT cyber threats, including monitoring to gain visibility into the assets, vulnerabilities, and threats in their environment."

Partha Seshadri, EMEA regional VP of lifecycle services at Rockwell Automation, said: "Cybersecurity is a continually moving target, not just in terms of new exploits and threat vectors, but also the ever-changing standards and legislation that prescribe preventative, proactive, and reactive procedures. Thanks to our dedicated cybersecurity teams, PartnerNetwork ecosystem and industry-proven hardware and software platforms, we can offer fully optimised solutions for IT/OT convergence and local, national, and global digitalisation campaigns across multiple industries and a broad variety of critical-infrastructure applications."
