As manufacturing organizations across EMEA accelerate the adoption of AI-powered, autonomous production systems, the cybersecurity landscape is shifting rapidly. “Securing Physical AI for Manufacturing in EMEA” brings together industry experts to examine the operational and security implications of extending intelligence from software into physical assets—ranging from robotics and connected machinery to adaptive assembly lines.
Industry Context: AI’s Expanding Role in Manufacturing
AI is driving a new era of autonomous, adaptive production. As intelligence migrates from the digital realm into physical infrastructure, manufacturers are encountering an expanded attack surface. Traditional security measures, designed for isolated IT environments, often fall short when faced with the complexity and scale of converged IT/OT systems. This evolution is not just technical—it’s operational, regulatory, and strategic.
Addressing New Cyber Risks in Physical AI Systems
The webinar delves into the unique risks posed by AI-driven physical systems. With warehouse robotics, edge-connected machinery, and autonomous production lines, the potential for cyber threats grows exponentially. The session explores why achieving full asset visibility is now foundational, and how organizations can move beyond legacy controls to integrated, intelligence-driven security operations.
Regulatory Compliance and Operational Resilience
Compliance requirements such as NIS2 are reshaping the priorities for manufacturing security teams. The discussion covers practical strategies for meeting these evolving standards, emphasizing the need for unified governance across IT and OT domains. Building resilience into security architecture is positioned as a core operational imperative, not just a compliance checkbox.
Integrated Approaches: From Threat Detection to Cloud-Enabled Security
Expert speakers from Nozomi Networks, Cisco, and AWS share perspectives on leveraging cloud infrastructure, unified threat detection, and intelligence-driven SOCs to secure AI adoption at scale. The panel format encourages practical discussion around integrating IT and OT security operations, automating response, and scaling best practices across diverse manufacturing environments.
