As industrial environments become more connected and threats more advanced, the challenge of securing ICS and OT systems grows more urgent. How are asset owners responding—and where are the biggest gaps?

Join us to discuss insights from SANS 9th annual State of ICS/OT Security Survey. This trusted industry research captures how organizations across sectors are evolving their industrial cybersecurity strategies in response to regulatory pressures, emerging threats, and operational demands.

Building on key findings from 2025—like improvements in incident response and IT-OT alignment—this year’s survey dives deeper into visibility across the ICS cyber kill chain, the growing role of cyber-informed engineering (CIE), and the need for resilience-focused security controls.

Whether you manage industrial assets, influence cyber strategy, or lead incident response, this session delivers the benchmarks and insights you need to make informed decisions in 2026 and beyond.

What You’ll Learn

How organizations are improving visibility across the ICS Cyber Kill Chain to detect and respond to threats earlier
What cyber-informed engineering (CIE) looks like in practice—and how it’s being used to bridge safety, reliability, and cybersecurity
Where key gaps and dependencies exist in OT-specific security controls and architectures
How to maximize the ROI of cybersecurity investments in industrial settings
Which areas saw progress in 2025, including response times, visibility, and IT-OT collaboration—and where critical misalignments remain how standards, regulations, and threat intelligence are shaping ICS/OT cyber programs moving forward
Real-world safety and reliability impacts of modern ICS threats—and what your peers are doing to mitigate them
