The NightWatch 2024

Tackling the dilemma: Cyber-resilience and technology innovation in industrial environments

Rapid scaling of digitally connected technology is vital to build safer, efficient, decarbonized industries. Innovation is booming, from connected navigation systems to predictive maintenance, digital twins of industrial assets, and digital management of more complex power grids.

 

Innovation will not scale if it imperils cyber resilience of IT and operational technology (OT). Resilience is essential in strategies for competitive innovation while complying with regulations. The dilemma is how to ensure that emerging cyber-security risks do not impede innovation.

 

Managing cyber-resilient innovation

Find out how this challenge is being met when industry-leading professionals share know-how and practical experiences at The NightWatch 2024, the 7th edition of the annual industrial cyber security gathering hosted by Applied Risk, a DNV company.

 

These insights are invaluable for resolving the innovation-resilience dilemma as the challenge becomes more complex. The cloud, AI, and quantum technologies show huge potential to strengthen security postures, but greater assurance is needed that they can be trusted before being widely adopted in the many industries that will be represented at The NightWatch 2024.

 

Where and when

The event will be held on Thursday, 14th of November at The Tobacco Theater in the historical center of Amsterdam (with limited seats available). The event will be also broadcasted live so you also have the opportunity to participate online.
