About this Workshop
From Factory Floor to Field Row: Cybersecurity as a Pillar of Operational Resilience
Description:
Today’s factories, farms, food processors, and logistics operations rely on connected technology. When those systems are disrupted by a cyberattack, the effects can reach far beyond IT, halting production, disrupting supply chains, and threatening food security. This session will explore cybersecurity as a core part of operational resilience, the role leaders play in managing cyber risk, and practical lessons organizations can use to protect their people, operations, and customers.
*This session is designed for manufacturing, agribusiness, logistics, and critical infrastructure companies.
