John DelligattiIn a world increasingly influenced by the allure of the Internet of Things (IoT), many organizations face challenges in adopting and fully integrating this technology into their systems. John Delligatti, the Director of Digital Supply Chain Transformation at SDI, presents a compelling argument for focusing on the resources at hand rather than waiting for the ideal conditions fostered by a complete IoT overhaul.
This session illuminates the idea that while IoT offers a promising future, it's essential to avoid being paralyzed by its complexities. John emphasizes the importance of harnessing currently available data, showcasing how tagging work order data with relevant asset and purchase order information can significantly transform maintenance processes, even without the full embrace of IoT.
Attendees will get a comprehensive understanding of the power that lies in their existing data. John will present data visualization dashboards that reveal how this data can be employed to predict demand and forecast service needs effectively. By embracing the "progress over perfection" mantra, organizations can optimize their operations, reduce downtime, and ensure smoother maintenance processes, without waiting for the perfect IoT infrastructure.
Join this enlightening session to uncover the vast potential in your data, proving that in the journey of digital transformation, every step forward counts.

Rod LockeIndustrial organizations are on alert as bad actors see critical infrastructure as low-hanging fruit for attack. Ransomware variants, phishing emails, wiper malware, and more show up as tactics used to disrupt operational environments. As digital transformation grows, so does the number of users, devices, and applications connecting to the network. This increases the number of remote staff accessing critical infrastructure like meters, sensors, and control systems. For many organizations, this positively affects efficiency. It has also increased risk and expanded the attack surface for industrial organizations. During this session, we will look at the changing threat landscape for industrial environments. The session will also explore the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) backed by telemetry data, like that used by FortiGuard Labs to gather insights across threat vectors and use them to inform protections across the Fortinet Security Fabric to protect your OT environment.

John CusimanoThere are several formal definitions for cyber-physical systems (CPS) but, in general, they all describe CPS as computer systems (e.g., processors, networks, software) integrated with mechanical systems for the purpose of monitoring and controlling a physical process. Certainly, industrial automation and control systems (IACS) fall under this definition, but the term goes beyond industrial applications and encompasses commercial and consumer applications such building automation systems, medical devices, automotive systems, and any “smart” or IoT device.
What most CPS systems have in common is, if compromised, the consequences could result in sickness, injury, or death. Take something as innocuous as a smart thermostat. Under the right (or wrong) circumstances a person or animal could be harmed if it failed or was tampered with in a way that resulted in prolonged extreme temperatures and the occupant was unable to escape.
Safety-engineering is a mature discipline with proven techniques, such as failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), fault tree analysis (FTA), hazard and operability studies (HAZOPS), that are tools safety engineers use to study failure modes and to design systems that are fault-tolerant and failsafe. When dealing with CPS, safety-engineers need to consider cybersecurity implications. In other words, they need to consider the possibility and likelihood that a malicious actor or malicious software could intentionally or unintentionally manipulate the system using cyber means to either initiate an unsafe condition or disable/bypass safeguards that intended to protect the system.
The challenge is that safety engineers are typically not cybersecurity experts and cybersecurity experts are typically not experts in electro-mechanical systems. One solution is to cross-train and develop people who are versed in both fields (i.e., a new discipline called cyber-safety engineering). True OT security experts fall into this category, but people with these unique skills and experience are rare and take years to develop. Another solution is to apply methodologies that encourage/enforce collaboration between cybersecurity and safety engineers. One such method, based on the ISA/IEC 62443-3-2 standard “Risk Assessment for Design”, is commonly referred to as Cyber PHA or Cyber HAZOP. The method integrates input from experts in their discipline (i.e., automation engineers, process engineers, operators, IT and IT security, health & safety) to produce a cross-functional study of the true cyber-safety risks. Armed with this information, engineers and cyber-security professionals can work together to mitigate these risks.
This presentation will provide an overview of the ISA/IEC 62443-3-2 standard and the Cyber PHA / Cyber HAZOP methodology and demonstrate how it can and has been applied to all forms of CPS, not just IACS. It will also touch on the ISASecure certification program and how it ensures cyber-safety is designed into products and systems.

Dr. Jayesh BarveWith the significant advances in multiple technologies like sensing, embedded electronics, communication, computing, image processing, analytics, AI/ML and internet; there has been a faster and deeper penetration of CPS (cyber physical systems) and IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) happening across industrial applications, domains --- process & manufacturing industry, power & energy, utility, healthcare, mobility, transportation, aerospace etc. In fact, these technological advances greatly help make human lives in industry and society more efficient & better; via wide-spread use of advanced automation solutions enabling to perform many complex tasks easily with reduced human-interventions across many industrial & non-industrial applications. Hence, the embedded industrial edge-computing devices, connected with the wide-spread internet, have started to show-up right on the industrial production-manufacturing shop-floors. These advanced intelligent, flexible, mobile robotic automation machines & solutions have slowly started replacing (or sometimes even leap-frogging) the traditional popular PLC-based fixed task-oriented automatic manufacturing machines & programmable CNC machines. They involve more flexible, intelligent robotics automation solutions using (single or connected) stationary robotic-manipulators, (one or multiple) mobile-robots working collaboratively amongst themselves OR with the human-operators (via intelligent human-robot integration). They bring intelligent algorithms, computing and software applications providing better sensing, estimation, sensor-fusion, perception, navigation, guidance and controls functionalities & capabilities in machines, processes, systems working right on/near the operational shop-floor. Thus, with the increasing IT-OT convergence in such advanced fixed/mobile robotics; AND with wide-spread applications of such advanced robotics solutions across manufacturing, healthcare, non-industrial & societal applications; also fast-raising are the concerns of data-security breaches & cyber-attacks; & particularly more so due to their higher probability of occurrence, severity & impact.
