About the Event
CS4CA USA (Cyber Security for Critical Assets Summit) returns for its 15th edition on March 2 to 3, 2027 in Houston. The two-day summit brings together senior cybersecurity professionals from industries responsible for essential services and national infrastructure. As critical infrastructure organizations transition from analog to digital systems, the event examines how geopolitical factors and expanding attack surfaces are reshaping the threat landscape for operational environments.
IT/OT Convergence and Industrial Control Systems
The summit covers both technical and strategic dimensions of protecting operational technology environments. Key topics include industrial control systems cybersecurity, secure remote access, vulnerability management, and the application of artificial intelligence to threat detection. Sessions address the practical challenges of managing risk when information technology and operational technology systems intersect, a growing concern as industrial networks become more connected.
Format and Networking
The in-person event features keynote presentations, panel discussions, and roundtable sessions designed for peer-to-peer learning. The format emphasizes knowledge exchange and cross-industry collaboration rather than product demonstrations, connecting end-users with vendors in an environment oriented toward strategic discussion.
Who Should Attend
CS4CA USA targets executive and senior management professionals responsible for cybersecurity in critical infrastructure organizations. Typical attendees include CISOs, Directors of IT/OT Security, Security Architects, and Cybersecurity Engineers from both public and private sector organizations in energy, utilities, water, transportation, chemical, and mining industries.
