AI Changes the Threat. AI Changes the Defense.
Industrial Cybersecurity Day 2027 is a free, single-day virtual conference organized by IIoT World on October 19, featuring multiple live, interactive panel sessions starting at 8 AM Eastern Time. Every session sits at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and industrial operations. Ransomware attacks on industrial organizations rose 49% year-over-year in 2026 and hit 3,300 companies, according to the Dragos OT Cyberthreat Year in Review. At the same time, 65% of organizations running AI agents reported security incidents, according to the Cloud Security Alliance. This event covers the new attack surface AI creates inside factories and energy operations, the new defenses AI provides, and the governance required when autonomous agents operate alongside programmable logic controllers.
One day. Multiple sessions on where AI creates new industrial threats, where AI stops them, and what governance holds it together:
Learn how AI agents and AI-powered reconnaissance create attack surfaces that did not exist two years ago, from automated exploit generation targeting Siemens S7 controllers to compromised procurement agents processing fraudulent orders.
Discover how AI-powered threat detection monitors OT networks without disrupting operations, and what protecting AI models running in production requires when adversarial inputs can cause physical damage.
See how manufacturers defend against a 49% increase in ransomware targeting industrial operations, and what identity, access, and credential management looks like when AI agents need tool access inside OT environments.
Live, interactive panel sessions with OT security practitioners, AI security researchers, and manufacturers who operate at the intersection of AI and industrial cybersecurity.
Sessions will be announced soon
Sponsors will be announced soon.
