Breakfast Panel Session: Evolutionary Resilience
About This Session
As the critical infrastructure threat landscape evolves, organizations must continuously adapt how they prepare for, withstand, and recover from cyber incidents. This panel will explore how asset owners and operators can build resilience amid expanding attack surfaces, increasingly connected IT and OT environments, emerging technologies, supply chain dependencies, and rapidly changing adversary tactics. Panelists will discuss practical approaches to identifying critical operational risks, strengthening incident response and recovery capabilities, and evolving security strategies without disrupting essential services.
Attendees will gain insights into balancing immediate security priorities with long-term resilience and maintaining safe, reliable operations in an increasingly complex environment.
