Most people think of cybersecurity as protecting data and passwords, but in the industrial world, a breach can move a literal mountain or stop a city’s power. This session explores the critical gap between IT and the machinery that keeps our world running, revealing why "turning it off and back on again" isn't an option for a power plant. You’ll walk away understanding how we secure the physical world from digital threats to ensure that our infrastructure stays safe, steady, and operational.
