With the increasing integration of industrial operations and digital technologies, Operational Technology (OT) Security has emerged as a critical necessity. The full-day conference will spotlight the challenges and opportunities in securing OT environments. It will feature expert sessions on ISA/IEC 62443 standards, real-world implementation case studies, certification programs, and actionable insights into safeguarding PLCs, SCADA systems, DCS, Drives, IIOT, and more.
The event will welcome a targeted audience of professionals from OT security implementation, OEMs, system integrators, automation vendors, and cybersecurity experts. Platinum sponsor Siemens Software Industry, Gold sponsor Rexel, and Silver sponsors Infosys, Keetronics, LDRA, and HMS Networks will showcase their expertise and commitment to cybersecurity excellence. Machine Maker, the leading media platform for the manufacturing sector, is the official media partner for the conference.
Regarding the initiative’s importance, Gurmeet Anand, Marketing Chair—ISA Pune Section, said, “OT Secure is a mission. As our industries become smarter and more interconnected, we must build cyber resilience into the very fabric of our control systems. ISA Pune is proud to bring together domain experts, thought leaders, and solution providers under one roof to address this urgent need.”
ISA Pune Section has strongly advocated OT cybersecurity, having trained over 250 professionals under the globally recognised ISA/IEC 62443 framework. The event continues the legacy of ISA Pune’s impactful technical conferences, following the success of past IIOT and Process Automation conferences that have engaged hundreds of industry delegates.
