In an interconnected world where industrial machinery communicates across global supply chains, traditional security boundaries have dissolved. Manufacturing companies face complex challenges protecting connected products while navigating regulations like NIS2 and emerging cybersecurity requirements that blur responsibility lines between suppliers, integrators and asset owners.

In this session, the panel of experts will discuss:

• How to monitor and limit attack surfaces across entire interconnected ecosystems, from cloud platforms to industrial PLCs;
• Maximizing third-party risk management programs through contractual frameworks that define cybersecurity responsibilities and incident disclosure requirements;
• Security and communication strategies to meet customer expectations for connected product assurance while managing compliance with evolving regulations;
• Practical approaches to identity management challenges in environments where AI and automation multiply attack vectors.
