Join us at the 27th Annual ARC Industry Forum to speed up your digitalization and sustainability initiatives with strategies and stories from the digital front lines.
New business processes are driving higher performance and lower costs across the industrial landscape. Companies are leveraging new developments in cloud computing, AI, IoT, edge solutions, and digital twins to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. Technological developments are likewise driving improvements in the safety and reliability of critical operations. Benefits from these developments can be large, but they can be quickly erased unless companies also address the increased risks of serious, costly cyber incidents.
Industrial cybersecurity has never been more important. New business processes and technologies are rapidly expanding the pathways for attackers to steal information and disrupt operations. At the same time, industrial security teams are struggling to deal with ransomware and sophisticated nation-state attacks. This situation is jeopardizing worker safety, delivery of critical services, and the operational continuity of plants and facilities that fuel profitability.
Conventional industrial IT and OT security programs weren’t designed to handle all of these new challenges. Digitalized organizations need security strategies that monitor, control, and coordinate security across every corporate device, application, system, and network regardless of where it is located. Security programs also need to ensure consistent management across IT, ET, OT, Cloud, Mobile and IoT environments. Likewise, security needs to span every business process and worker regardless of where, when, and how they are performed. Developing a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that addresses the current and emerging risks of digitalization has never been more urgent.
The Industrial Cybersecurity program at the 2023 ARC Industry Form Americas addresses these issues with informative workshops, panel discussions, and case study presentations. It is the ideal venue to learn what others are doing, how they are doing it, and the benefits they are achieving. Attendees will also have opportunities to discuss their unique challenges with peers, researchers, educators, service providers, and solution providers.
For those unable to attend in person, you can register to view the session videos online from February 27 - March 27.
Cybersecurity Sessions
It was an honor and pleasure to be invited to speak at the ARC event. I was impressed with the level of knowledge I was exposed to at this conference; this will become an annual event for me. A sincere thank you to ARC for organizing a "WOW" event.

For me, since I’m from the pharma industry, coming to the ARC forum gives me a chance to interact with folks in like roles from different industries. It’s been very valuable for me to bring ideas and new connections back to my company and apply them to our business.
