Supply chain cyber risk is intensifying as expanding regulatory requirements, third-party liability, and ESG expectations place greater governance and compliance responsibility on interconnected and mission-critical global supply networks.

This ARC Forum panel brings together OT cybersecurity leaders to discuss secure remote access and industrial cyber assessments, with a focus on practical approaches for managing evolving industrial risk.

Modernizing distributed control systems has become a strategic necessity, enabling safer, more secure, and more efficient industrial operations while unlocking digital transformation and long-term performance gains.

Supply chain cyber risk is amplified as limited visibility into ERP, cloud, IoT, SaaS, and third- and fourth-party dependencies leaves interconnected and mission-critical global supply networks exposed to hidden vulnerabilities.

The supply chain cyber threat landscape is expanding as ransomware, advanced persistent threats, IoT and OT vulnerabilities, cloud dependencies, and AI-enabled attacks increasingly exploit interconnected and mission-critical global supply networks.

Hitachi announced collaborations with NVIDIA, Google Cloud, and Nozomi Networks, showing how it is applying artificial intelligence across energy, mobility, industrial systems, and cybersecurity.

Nozomi Networks has established its Asia Pacific and Japan headquarters in Singapore to expand regional operations, strengthen customer support, and support critical infrastructure and OT cybersecurity initiatives.

Westermo’s Viper-3000 Ethernet switch series and WeOS 5 operating system have achieved IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 certification, supporting cybersecurity requirements for rail and other critical industrial environments.

Cyber resilience has become a core supply chain priority as cyberattacks increasingly target interconnected, digitized, and mission-critical global supply networks.
