Artificial intelligence is not a new category of threat; it is a multiplier of every threat that already exists, making phishing faster, attacks more targeted and detection evasion more sophisticated. At the same time, quantum computing introduces a longer-horizon risk: OT systems with decade-long life cycles that rely on RSA cryptography today may be fundamentally vulnerable by 2030, long before they are retired or replaced.

This panel examines how AI, post-quantum cryptography and the proliferation of connected devices - robots, drones, autonomous vehicles and IIoT endpoints - are reshaping the OT risk landscape and what organizations need to build into their road maps now.

In this insightful discussion, the panel of experts discuss:

• How AI amplifies existing OT threats rather than creating entirely new ones;
• Why post-quantum cryptography readiness must start with OT asset inventory today;
• How to treat connected devices as cyber-physical endpoints with identity, life cycle and secure update requirements.
