PART 1: Leadership Panel

In 2021, Gartner advised that organizations need to expand their security programs to include cyber physical systems. As we bring 2024 to a close, we see the rampant proliferation of the Internet of Things that are increasingly vulnerable. Are security leaders seeing the direct links between security and the risks of cyber physical systems? How does this link impact the strategic planning process? In addition to identifying the challenges in securing cyber physical systems, this cross-sector panel of cybersecurity leaders will share their unique perspectives on developing and implementing a security strategy that includes cyber physical systems and share insights on developing the team needed to secure critical infrastructure.
