About this presentation

Cyber attacks have become a daily challenge for businesses and are increasingly targeting industrial systems. The UK is applying regulations and standardisation to OT cyber security, which is already affecting the chemical industry and will continue to ramp up in the coming years. This session will explore the cyber security and safety regulations aimed at the UK chemical industry and explain the principles behind a defence-in-depth approach to security based on IEC-62443, with a focus on asset and supply chain management.
