AI and SCADA Cybersecurity: Opportunities, Challenges, and Strategies

Cyber Security Workshops for management

Duration: 4 Hours

Target Audience:

The primary audience for this workshop includes mid to top-level managers and decision-makers involved in critical infrastructure sectors such as utilities, energy, and manufacturing. These participants are likely to oversee or directly manage operational technology (OT) environments and are responsible for strategic decisions regarding cybersecurity practices. The workshop is also relevant for IT professionals, security analysts, and system administrators who are interested in the integration of AI technologies within SCADA systems.

This workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the intersection between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) cybersecurity. It aims to equip mid to top-level management with an understanding of how AI is transforming the cybersecurity landscape for SCADA systems. The sessions will cover both theoretical foundations and practical applications, including hands-on exercises in a simulated environment. By exploring opportunities, challenges, and strategies for AI implementation, the workshop will enable participants to make informed decisions about leveraging AI for enhanced security while managing associated risks.
