Industrial Cybersecurity by Design: Embedding Trust in Critical Systems with Andrew Kling
Description
How can global industries keep their critical systems operating safely and avoid costly, disruptive downtime as cyber risks evolve?
Andrew Kling, Director of Cybersecurity and Architecture at Schneider Electric, examines the evolving complexities shaping industrial cybersecurity as operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) converge – from regulatory compliance and evolving cybersecurity standards to risk management, threat awareness, and preparedness.
Drawing on decades of experience across multiple industries and in international standards development, Kling explores how secure-by-design - a “shift-left” approach that embeds cybersecurity at an early stage and anticipates threats - can build resilience into the industrial control systems (ICS) powering our critical infrastructure. Looking to the future, he also speaks of the important role of multistakeholder collaboration as cyber threats and technologies evolve.
