Defending Manufacturing:

How Agentic AI bridges the IT and OT Divide

10:00 AM BST   |  1:00 PM EDT

Manufacturing was the most targeted sector in Q1 2026. Incident volume nearly quadrupled as multiple ransomware groups and credential harvesting campaigns hit at the same time. Attackers move in under 4 minutes. Patch cycles take quarters. That gap is where breaches happen.

This session breaks down how agentic AI absorbs spikes in incident volume without adding headcount—and how to draw the line between autonomous containment and human approval near production systems.

You'll walk away with:

  • How agentic AI investigates across IT and OT at the same time to keep pace with concurrent attacks

  • A framework for where to automate containment and where to keep humans in the loop

  • Why adding headcount, outsourcing, or centralizing into a SIEM won't solve the problem
