SolutionsPT, AVEVA Select Partner UK and Ireland, has announced the return of its annual Cyber SecureOT conference for 2026. Held over two dates in both the UK and Ireland, this year’s theme ‘Turning Compliance into Resilience’ will focus on helping industrial organisations navigate the recent changes in cyber security regulations and standards while protecting operational technology (OT) environments against evolving cyber threats.
SOC-as-a-service provider, e2e-assure, has unveiled new research revealing that a third of surveyed organisations are relying on IT cybersecurity processes and standards, despite operational technology (OT) requiring a specialist approach, resulting in a preparedness gap that leaves them at increased risk of a cyber attack.
Carl Henriksen explains why OT visibility is becoming a security and engineering challenge, and how getting it wrong can compromise both cyber resilience and operational continuity
CYBERSECURITY HAS become the most significant focus for automotive manufacturers worldwide, according to ABB Robotics’ latest Automotive Manufacturing Outlook Survey, highlighting a fundamental shift in how manufacturers view digital risk, operational continuity and the future of vehicle production.
LEADING PROVIDER of complete connection solutions, Belden has the launched new products designed to provide flexible and scalable cybersecurity for operational technology environments and enhance network efficiency.
GLOBAL LEADER in cybersecurity and critical systems protection, Thales, and leading provider of secure remote access for industrial operations, Secomea, have announced a new partnership covering the UK, Ireland, and the Nordic region.
RANSOMWARE GROUPS and criminal networks now use automated toolkits that move with a speed few organisations can match. Recent threat analysis shows that most global firms cannot keep pace with AI-powered attacks.
Operational Technology (OT) cyber security has become a critical priority for manufacturers as production environments become increasingly connected and data-driven. From automated machinery and robotics to industrial control systems and smart sensors, modern factories rely on interconnected technologies to maintain efficiency, productivity, and quality. However, this connectivity also increases exposure to cyber threats that can disrupt operations, compromise sensitive data, and impact supply chains. As manufacturers continue to embrace digital transformation, robust OT cyber security is essential to protect critical infrastructure, ensure operational resilience, and maintain business continuity in an evolving threat landscape.
