SUMMARY:(CS)²AI Online™ Symposium: ICS/OT Cybersecurity in the Manufacturing Sector
DESCRIPTION:Register now: https://events.zoom.us/ev/AmMfHwK3X4ldZMXmp0Cz2cJnZkIEUck3-0YUlRrwOJcFfN38eNaW~AqEkrMaoscLWK-LtBdz5alf-KHHX6NTpJ2q8lR3hOkZ191-0EUPcupcvmaVVu7buKlRWQccJa7SMiit3RiEIUpvWjw \nShielding the Shop Floor: ICS/OT Cybersecurity for the Manufacturing Sector\nIn an era where a single line of code can halt a production line across the globe\, resilience isn’t just a goal—it’s a requirement for survival. Join us for an intensive\, high-impact symposium dedicated to the unique challenges of ICS/OT cybersecurity within the manufacturing sector. \nWhy Attend?\nThe integration of IT and OT has opened unprecedented doors for efficiency\, but it has also expanded the attack surface for bad actors. This symposium brings together frontline defenders\, policy experts\, and industry leaders to move beyond theoretical security and into battle-tested resilience. \nSessions\nSafeguarding Manufacturing Business Continuity in the Face of Disaster \n\nThe Strategy: Learn how to architect “fail-functional” systems that maintain core operations even during an active breach.\nThe Focus: Bridging the gap between rapid incident response and long-term recovery to ensure your bottom line remains protected.\nCase Study Estonia: Resilience in the Face of Cyber Warfare\nThe Deep Dive: Analyze the real-world tactics used by one of the world’s most digitally advanced nations to repel nation-state cyber aggression.\nThe Takeaway: Actionable intelligence on how manufacturing hubs can adopt a “Digital Defense” posture modeled after Estonian infrastructure resilience.\n\nPanel discussion: Manufacturing Uptime – Operational Continuity and Resilience in the Face of Emerging Threats \n\nChallenges:\nSupply Chain Intrusions\nAI-Powered Threats\nRansomware tailored to Industrial Environments\nMalware impacting Safety Systems\nStrategies:\nIntegrating IT/OT Strategies & Security\nComplying with ISA/IEC 62443 Standards\nTabletop Exercises and Runbooks\nImplementing Strong IT/OT Segmentation and Zone/Conduit Design\nContinuous Monitoring and Anomaly Detection\n\nSecuring Brownfield Modernizations\, Expansions\, & Greenfield Builds in the Smart Manufacturing Era\nWhat steps can you take to engineer a secure solution for brownfield sites that meets the increased business intelligence demand of the Smart Manufacturing era\nHow can your brownfield experience reasonably advance greenfield project design and implementation?\nWhat are the uplift paths available for brownfields within your resource constraints? \n\nThe Takeaway:\nWe illustrate simple steps to secure Smart Manufacturing-ready sites based on our experience uplifting brownfield sites and through deliberate Secure-by-Design for Operational Technology (SbD4OT) at greenfield sites.\n\nApplying Two Decades of OT Security Compliance to Protect Manufacturing Operations\nRegulatory expectations for cybersecurity and operational resilience are increasing across manufacturing environments. Manufacturers must strengthen OT security in ways that protect uptime\, safety\, and production without adding unnecessary complexity. This session shares practical lessons from 20 years of OT security compliance experience across regulated industrial sectors.\nIn this session\, you will learn how to: \n\nApply proven OT security compliance practices to modern manufacturing environments\nMove from checkbox compliance to proactive\, operationally-aligned security\nUse centralized visibility and near real‑time risk insights to protect distributed industrial assets\n\nDate April 1\, 2026\nLocation All Online\nTarget Audience CISOs\, Plant Managers\, OT Engineers\, and Risk Officers\nEngagement Live “Deep Dive.” Ask the speakers and panelists questions live \n> “In the manufacturing world\, uptime is the only metric that matters. Cybersecurity is no longer an IT expense; it is the insurance policy for your physical output.” \nSecure your Spot!\nDon’t wait for a system alert to start thinking about defense. Join your peers in defining the future of industrial safety. \nRegister now: https://events.zoom.us/ev/AmMfHwK3X4ldZMXmp0Cz2cJnZkIEUck3-0YUlRrwOJcFfN38eNaW~AqEkrMaoscLWK-LtBdz5alf-KHHX6NTpJ2q8lR3hOkZ191-0EUPcupcvmaVVu7buKlRWQccJa7SMiit3RiEIUpvWjw \n——————————————————–\nBecoming a paid member is quick and easy (and helps us keep offering these educational opportunities!).

SUMMARY:VibeCraft Power Hour
DESCRIPTION:VibeCraft is a recurring\, collaborative working session where ideas turn into experiments and experiments turn into real builds. Each session is shaped by the group. We review what is emerging\, explore new directions\, and decide together what is worth building next. \nThis is not a presentation or a passive meetup. It is an active\, hands-on environment where members contribute ideas\, react to each other’s work\, and influence the direction of future sessions. Expect open discussion\, live demos\, shared whiteboards\, and practical exploration. \nSessions may include live walkthroughs of tools\, automations\, and AI agents\, discussions around product and company design\, rapid demos from members\, and breakdowns of different approaches to building with modern AI systems. Topics evolve over time\, but the focus remains the same: learning by doing\, building in public\, and exploring a high-tech\, high-touch future grounded in curiosity\, collaboration\, and thoughtful design. \nCome ready to participate\, share what you are building\, and help shape what we explore next as a VibeCraft community.
