Alex Fold examines how adversaries are accelerating their capabilities and leveraging deep expertise in IEC 62443 standards and SCADA security to highlight emerging threats and data-driven solutions for critical infrastructure protection.
Cyber adversaries are moving faster than ever - automating reconnaissance, weaponizing zero-day exploits, and compressing the time between discovery and compromise. The 2025 Threat Landscape Report highlights a new reality where attackers leverage AI, commoditized tools and industrialized operations to erode defenders' advantages across every phase of attack. Defending at speed now demands integrating real-time intelligence, automation and trust-based architecture across IT and OT environments.
In this insightful session, Alex Fold, OT security evangelist at Fortinet, will explore:
- How AI-driven automation is reshaping threat intelligence and detection speed;
- The evolving nature of ransomware targeting operational technology;
- Techniques for adversary attribution, tooling analysis and proactive defense orchestration.
