TRACK - OT, IoT, Hardware & Beyond

Introduction

This track focuses on the security of Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), connected IoT ecosystems, and the underlying hardware layer that powers them. As critical infrastructure becomes increasingly interconnected, vulnerabilities across devices, firmware, and physical components introduce new and often overlooked attack surfaces.

From SCADA systems and industrial networks to embedded devices and hardware supply chains, this track explores how adversaries exploit weaknesses across the cyber-physical stack—and how defenders can secure them.

Key Themes
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) & OT Security
Hardware Security & Embedded Systems
Critical Infrastructure Protection
IoT Security: From Device to Ecosystem
Industrial Threat Intelligence
Smart Cities & Connected Infrastructure Security
Proposed Talks & Panel Discussions
  • PANEL Securing Critical Infrastructure in the Age of Cyber Warfare
