OT & CPS Security 

in 2026 and Beyond

Join the Fortinet OT virtual event to explore actionable strategies for securing the physical world in a digital age.

Overview

OT and cyber-physical systems (CPS) cybersecurity has entered a new era. AI-driven threats, expanding regulation, geopolitical tension, and industrial cloud adoption are transforming OT and CPS security from a technical concern into a board level and national priority.

In this 2-hour OT Virtual Event, industry analysts, control system vendors, ecosystem partners, and Fortinet experts get together to explore how OT CPS security programs must evolve in 2026 and beyond.

Start 2026 with a clear view of the OT security landscape and how to build resilient, compliant, and scalable operations. Expert sessions will cover how to:

  • Identify and prepare for emerging cyber and operational threats

  • Navigate regulatory requirements and adopt effective managed OT security models

  • Leverage a converged, consolidated security platform to improve resilience and scale

As regulators are increasingly measuring the resilience of OT and cyber-physical systems and not individual security controls, it’s important to understand the impact of key trends such as AI, increased regulations, sovereignty requirements, and convergence in this changing environment.

The Threat Landscape Challenge – It’s Not Just IT

11:35 AM - 12:00 PM - Thursday, February 26, 2026
Jonas Walker
Director Threat Intelligence
Fortinet

This session will focus on recent AI-enabled attacker behavior and common intrusion paths that lead to process manipulation, operational disruption, safety exposure, and the resulting physical consequences.

A 360° View of Today’s OT & CPS Security Markets

12:00 PM - 12:25 PM - Thursday, February 26, 2026
Daniele Mancini
EMEA Field CISO

An OT CPS Platform-Based Operating Model

12:25 PM - 12:50 PM - Thursday, February 26, 2026
Antoine d'Haussy
RVP OT Practice Lead International
Fortinet

Considering today’s threat landscape, current OT and CPS cybersecurity struggle to keep pace. Effective OT CPS security must be operational: fewer tools, less noise, faster containment with measurable resilience. This session will look at a practical cybersecurity operating model for OT and CPS systems including segmentation, end-to-end visibility, secure remote access, SASE secure connectivity for distributed sites, managed detection and response, and platform-driven noise reduction.

Building Trust in OT and CPS Cybersecurity

12:50 PM - 1:00 PM - Thursday, February 26, 2026
Patrick Grillo
Senior Director, Solutions Marketing

Cybersecurity is more than the latest technology or gadget. While technology is certainly part of the equation, it must be complemented by the right partner with the right programs to ensure your continued operations. This session will look at some of the available options designed to help asset owners protect OT and the cyber-physical systems modern society relies upon.
