WHAT TO EXPECT 

  • The current OT threat landscape: newly-named threat groups, major campaign updates, and the trends that actually matter for defenders in 2026. 
  • Every session is built on real incident data. 16 IR engagements in the first four months of 2026 alone. Talks pull from actual casework across electric, oil and gas, water, manufacturing, and rail.
  • Authentication detection methodology and OT artifact collection talks include frameworks defenders can apply to any environment.
  • AI in ICS gets a calibrated assessment of AI’s actual role in ICS attacks—which detection windows are shrinking and what that means operationally.
  • OT insider threat, the myth of the air gap, and the gap between compliance and actual security are addressed with original case research and data-driven findings.
