2:40 PM Workshop: Cybersecurity Literacy: Protecting Legacy OT System and Cloud/Edge Data in a Converged World

As digital transformation accelerates across manufacturing, the convergence of legacy operational technology (OT) systems with cloud and edge computing introduces new vulnerabilities—and demands a new level of cybersecurity literacy.

Ricardo will equip manufacturing leaders with the strategic understanding needed to protect critical infrastructure and data assets. Learn how to assess risk across hybrid environments, implement layered security strategies, and foster a culture of cyber resilience from the factory floor to the cloud.

Real-world examples of successful cybersecurity frameworks, threat mitigation tactics, and governance models that align with Industry 4.0 priorities will be shared. Whether you're modernizing legacy systems or scaling edge intelligence, this session will help you lead with confidence in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
