ARC’s European Industry Forum is part of our successful series of worldwide conferences in America and Asia. The next European Forum will be held in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain on May 15 - 17, 2023 and focus on “Managing Industry Evolution in Times of Global Disruption”. Participants are invited to attend exclusive presentations and workshops on strategies and case studies from the digital front lines. ARC industry analysts and other automation experts from the end user and supplier communities will analyze and discuss trends and drivers for hot industry topics, such as: 

Cybersecurity for Digitalization and Sustainability

Companies are increasingly using new developments in cloud computing, AI, IoT, edge solutions and digital twins to achieve process optimization. The benefits of these developments can be great, but they can be quickly reversed if organizations do not address the increased risks of serious, costly cyber incidents at the same time.

Industrial cybersecurity has never been more important than it is today. New business processes and technologies offer attackers more and more opportunities to steal information or disrupt operations. In addition, the industry is threatened by ransomware and sophisticated attacks. This situation jeopardizes the safety of employees, the uninterrupted operation of systems and facilities, and these consequences can result in high costs

Traditional industrial IT and OT security programs are not always designed to meet these new challenges. Digitized businesses require security strategies that monitor, govern, and orchestrate the security of all enterprise devices, applications, systems, and networks, no matter where they are located. Security programs must also ensure consistent management of IT, OT, and IoT environments. Developing a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that addresses the current and emerging risks of digitalization has never been more urgent.

The Industrial Cybersecurity track at ARC’s Industry Forum in Europe discusses these topics in informative workshops and panel discussions. The forum is the ideal place to learn what the industry is doing to increase cybersecurity. Participants also have the opportunity to discuss their individual challenges with colleagues, service and solution providers.
