Exchange insights on how peers are navigating IT–OT convergence

As manufacturing plants become smarter, ports move toward autonomy, and fleets operate in real time, Operational Technology (OT) is the heartbeat of operations. But with increased automation, robotics, and connected supply chains comes a rapidly expanding attack surface and growing exposure to cyber threats that can halt production, disrupt logistics, and impact safety. 

Ransomware targeting industrial systems and environments, compromising supply chain and legacy system vulnerabilities, are no longer theoretical risks, with even a short disruption resulting in significant business impact, through operational downtime, delayed shipments, contractual penalties, and reputational damage. Furthermore, the expanded attack surface brought about by inherently un-secure OT devices, systems, and networks being targeted by threat actors as they have already developed OT-specific exploits crafted for OT devices and systems. 

This exclusive executive roundtable brings together technology leaders from across the Philippines’ manufacturing, logistics, and transportation sectors to discuss how to secure modern OT environments whilst ensuring the organisations continual drive for efficiency and innovation.

Key discussion questions include:

• The future of manufacturing, logistics and transportation
• Getting the foundational OT security strategies in place
• The organizational strategy for OT/ IT security including ownership and talent management
• How to leverage AI to reduce alert fatigue and improve threat detection
• Building a future-proof security roadmap aligned with both local operations and global standards

Important – attendance criteria: This event is specifically designed for senior IT professionals (Head/Director level or above) from large companies (500+ employees) based in The Philippines, along with senior representatives from our event partners. Professionals who fall outside these criteria — including those from technology vendors, media, marketing, or consulting firms — are not eligible to attend and may have their registrations declined.
