Agenda

Coffe & Networking

Welcome & Introductions - Caitriona Mordan, ATIM Cluster 

Manufacturing is no longer just a physical business — it’s a digital one, and attackers know it. This session delivers real-world threat intelligence on how ransomware groups, supply chain adversaries, and ICS/SCADA-targeting campaigns are actively exploiting the seams between IT and OT environments.
Walk away with a clear-eyed view of where your greatest exposures lie, why converged IT/OT environments demand a unified security approach, and the practical, maturity-appropriate steps your organisation can take — starting now — to reduce risk before the next attack makes the headlines.

When the Factory Floor Becomes the Front Line:

Industry Insights - Andrew Cavenden (Logicalis) & Rob Nolan (CJ Sheeran)

Break - Tea & Coffee

Speaker Session: AI Advancements - John Paul Construction (JPC)

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a productivity tool transforming how you operate — it is now transforming how adversaries attack, accelerating threats at a scale and speed that traditional security tools were never designed to handle. This session cuts through the hype to provide a clear-eyed view of how AI is being weaponised against manufacturing organisations today, what to watch for in 2026 and beyond, and the practical steps you can take to stay ahead of the curve.
