The digitalisation and networking of industrial environments opens up enormous opportunities - for greater efficiency, better control and the benefits of digital transformation. However, it also brings with it a growing threat: OT systems such as SCADA, ICS and IoT devices, which were originally designed for isolated environments, are now networked - and therefore vulnerable. With lifecycles of up to 20 years, many of these systems are simply no match for modern cyber threats.

The question is no longer whether an attack will come, but when - and whether your company will be prepared.

This is exactly where we come in. At this event, experts from CANCOM Austria, Siemens AG and Everpure will shed light on the most pressing challenges surrounding OT security, industrial communication and modern infrastructure architectures. From network segmentation and zero trust models to securing critical production processes - you will gain practical insights and concrete solutions for 2026.

We invite you to join us in taking the next step towards a robust, future-proof OT security strategy.
