Themes to be Explored in 2025

  • Session One: Resilience in Automotive Systems

    Modern mobility demands continuous resilience. Explore how organizations can prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents that impact vehicle systems, manufacturing operations, and enterprise networks. Hear how leaders are minimizing downtime, implementing lessons learned, and building systems that bounce back stronger.

  • Session Two: Integration for Secure Operations

    Security is strongest when systems and teams are aligned. Hear real-world examples of integrating secure engineering practices, implementing cybersecurity standards, and breaking down silos between IT, OT, and product teams. Explore how collaboration, benchmarking, and shared training build stronger defense postures across operations.

  • Session Three: Driving Governance and Risk Strategy

    Robust governance and strategic risk management are the foundation of long-term security. This area focuses on approaches to policy development, compliance alignment, and instilling a culture of security. Learn how organizations are managing risk at scale and navigating the complexities of evolving global regulations.

  • Session Four: Evolving Technologies

    The pace of innovation continues to accelerate — and so do the risks. In this forward-looking track, explore the impact of emerging technologies like generative AI, offensive AI, and quantum computing. Discuss how to responsibly adopt new tools, defend against AI-driven threats, and prepare for the ethical, legal, and operational implications of tomorrow’s tech.
