With growing complexities within the OT (Operational Technology) and IT (Information Technology) space, energy, utilities, and industrial manufacturers need to identify system vulnerabilities, bridge the gap between IT/OT teams, and understand that new cybersecurity risks continue to evolve in converged operating environments.

Ahead of our upcoming OT Cyber Security Summit, we spoke with event speaker and advisory board member, Reynaldo Gonzalez, Principal Cyber Security Architect at Cummins. With over 18 years of experience facilitating growth and driving successful business outcomes, Reynaldo plays a pivotal role in creating cybersecurity architecture reference standards at Cummins and supporting tools and rationalization efforts to enhance the organization's security posture. Read as he shares detailed insights on the strategies for balancing legacy systems with new security technologies, building a compelling business case for OT cybersecurity investments, and fostering a culture of collaboration to ensure seamless system convergence.

In today’s interconnected world, safeguarding critical infrastructure from cyber threats is more crucial than ever. The continuous evolution of technology and the adoption of the Connected Worker have created unprecedented opportunities for growth and innovation. However, they have also introduced a vast and complex digital landscape where vulnerabilities can be easily exploited. The cybersecurity challenges facing critical infrastructure are not hypothetical; they are stark realities with the potential to disrupt organizational and operational efficiency, damage reputations, compromise national security, disrupt economies, and endanger public safety.

Read the special report as it delves into:

• The critical importance of cybersecurity in protecting essential infrastructure in today’s interconnected world
• The growing threat of cyberattacks, particularly in industries such as oil and gas, utilities, and manufacturing, where the consequences of a breach can be severe
• The urgent need for stronger cybersecurity measures, including advanced technologies, zero-trust architecture, and standardized processes
• Practical guidance, including a step-by-step checklist, to help organizations effectively respond to cyber threats and bolster their defences against future attacks
