Upcoming Event
OT Cybersecurity: From Risk to Action
- Date: Tuesday 3 November, 2026
- Location: Online webinar
- Participants: Oliver Mangham, Ben Searson, Richard Lower
OT cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important as industrial systems become more connected, cyber threats evolve and expectations around resilience continue to increase. But knowing cybersecurity matters is very different from knowing what action to take.
On Tuesday 3 November 2026, FAIRFIELDS is hosting a one-hour webinar exploring OT cybersecurity from a practical, independent and risk-based perspective. The session will run as a 45-minute presentation followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A.
What FAIRFIELDS Brings
FAIRFIELDS combines industrial automation, industrial networking and OT cybersecurity expertise to help organisations understand their operational risk and identify practical, proportionate improvements.
Rather than starting with a particular technology or product, our approach begins with understanding the assets within an OT environment, the potential operational consequences of a cyber incident, existing vulnerabilities and the organisation’s tolerance to risk.
Our capabilities include:
- Asset discovery and understanding what is connected to your OT environment
- How operational consequence and business risk influence cybersecurity decisions
- Risk assessment and the role of standards such as IEC 62443
- How to identify and prioritise cybersecurity gaps
- Network segmentation and secure remote access
- System hardening, monitoring and ongoing improvement
- How to move from assessment into practical cybersecurity action
The session is designed to help organisations understand where they are today, where the greatest risks exist and where time and investment should be focused.
Why It Matters
Cybersecurity in operational technology differs from traditional IT security. Industrial environments must balance security with availability, safety, production requirements, legacy equipment, long asset lifecycles and the practical realities of maintaining live systems.
Taking a risk-based approach helps organisations focus on the controls and improvements that address their most significant operational risks, rather than simply implementing more cybersecurity technology.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is aimed at people responsible for the operation, engineering, automation, security or management of industrial assets, including Engineering Managers, Plant Managers, Operations Directors, OT and IT leaders, Automation Managers and Cybersecurity professionals. Priority sectors include manufacturing, food and beverage, process industries, water and wastewater, energy, utilities, transport and infrastructure.
