Panel: Protecting Australia's critical infrastructure

The convergence of IT and the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionised critical infrastructure, making it more connected and efficient than ever. However, this increased connectivity has created avenues for threat actors to exploit hardware vulnerabilities and target critical infrastructure including energy, transportation, water, healthcare, resources and communications systems.

This session will provide an in-depth examination of how businesses can understand the current and emerging threats to operational technology (OT), and build frameworks to future-proof their IT and OT systems.

Join our panellists as they explore the challenges and opportunities this evolving landscape presents, including:

  • Understanding how threat actors are targeting OT systems
  • Gaining insights into building tailor-made cyber security strategies for OT and IT systems
  • Implementing risk mitigation techniques to protect valuable hardware
  • Ensuring your business can continue operating in the event of an OT attack
