Building IT/OT security strategies that can survive convergence, secure board approval and withstand global economic pressures requires more than technical know-how; it demands business fluency, change management and cross-functional alignment. This panel brings together security leaders from transit, food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and energy to examine what effective IT/OT strategy looks like in practice.

In this insightful discussion, Moazzam Jafri, Ivan Sestak, Christian Moreira and Debbie Clarke discuss:

• How to manage IT/OT convergence as a change management exercise - building bilingual teams, overcoming cultural differences and creating shared awareness of risk across both environments;
• How to structure the business case for IT/OT security investment, using financial impact analysis, executive vulnerability assessments and sector-specific incident examples to secure board-level buy-in;
• How organizations can adapt security strategies to address supply chain risks, cloud adoption challenges and geopolitical disruptions such as tariffs affecting global manufacturing operations.
