Nation-state actors are no longer just threatening critical infrastructure; many are already pre-positioned inside OT environments, waiting. As adversaries grow more sophisticated and the attack surface expands faster than security budgets, critical infrastructure leaders must think strategically about deterrence, investment prioritization and organizational resilience.

In this insightful discussion, Tatyana Bolton, Peter Fletcher, Joseph Couture, Dylan Coiro, Gustavo Arias and Christopher Trifiletti discuss:

• How public-private partnerships - from InfraGard to CISA's Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative - are evolving to support faster threat response;
• Why adversary intent and capability are not yet fully aligned, and what that window means for defenders;
• How CISOs can frame OT cyber risk for boards using real-world incidents and risk proportionality arguments.
