From Siloed to Secure: Aligning People, Process, and Technology for CPS Risk Reduction

Wednesday, October 7, 2026
11:40 AM - 12:15 PM
Focus Track (Strategy Room)

About This Session

As cyber-physical systems (CPS) expand across industrial, healthcare, and public sector environments, many organizations continue to rely on fragmented tools, siloed teams, and informal processes to manage CPS risk. While visibility has improved, real risk reduction, compliance readiness, and operational resilience often remain out of reach.

This session examines why traditional, tool-centric approaches to CPS security fall short and explores the growing need for a structured, programmatic model. Attendees will learn how a CPS Protection Program brings people, processes, and technology together to create a repeatable system for managing risk.Key topics will include:

• Practical challenges such as defining ownership across asset owners and security leaders
• Establishing governance and RACIs
• Prioritizing CPS risk
• Demonstrating value to the business
