About this event
Industrial systems are under more pressure than ever to be connected, efficient, and secure at the same time. IEC 62443: Motivation Cyber Security is a focused virtual meetup for people who want to better understand why this standard matters, where it fits in real operational environments, and how stronger cyber security thinking can support safer, more resilient systems. If you work around industrial control systems, OT, automation, compliance, or risk, this session gives you a practical place to step back and look at the bigger picture. Rather than treating cyber security as a vague requirement, this event centers on the motivation behind IEC 62443 and the real-world conversations professionals need to have around it.
