Keynote: Industry 4.0 Security: Protocols, Risks, Trends and Challenges Pedro Umbelino, Principal Research Scientist, Bitsight Technologies
With the fourth industrial revolution at full steam (pun intended), Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) networks are increasingly interconnected, leveraging the Internet to drive efficiency and innovation in critical infrastructure and manufacturing environments. Associated with this connectivity, an expanded attack surface comes along, exposing essential systems that make our society work to sophisticated attackers and, unfortunately, to not so sophisticated ones. Arguably, Industry 4.0 was not completely ready for the adversarial environment of the open Internet.

Keynote: Key Trends in Smart Manufacturing and Operational Resilience to Help Navigate Digital Transformation Craig Resnick, ARC Advisory Group
It is critical that device manufacturers and product developers get the latest market trends regarding the progress that their end user and OEM customers are making on their digital transformation journeys, including what technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, Analytics, Edge, Cloud, Digital Twin, IT/OT/ET convergence, etc. are most in demand. ARC Advisory wanted to determine what are the key market trends that are driving smart manufacturing and operational resilience initiatives at end users and OEMs. This presentation will showcase the results of a very recent survey of over 500 respondents from the process, discrete, and hybrid industries to help determine what kinds of technologies and solutions are being used to help end users and OEMs progress in their digital transformation and sustainability journeys in the industrial AI era.
