Overview

Strong attendance for the Cybersecurity program at the recent ARC 2025 Industry Leadership Forum in Orlando demonstrated how recent cyber incidents and new technological developments are raising cybersecurity concerns across the industrial landscape.  

Cybersecurity has been a key element of ARC’s Orlando Forum for over a decade and attendees appreciate that it is embedded within a broader conference on technological advancements and trends transforming industrial companies. Many of these developments directly impact cybersecurity and this gives attendees an opportunity to learn about future security challenges. It also provides opportunities for security professionals to network with and educate executives who are driving these business transformations.

The cybersecurity program’s workshops and case study sessions received high ratings for content and relevance. Attendees particularly liked the fact that speakers and workshop panelists were all end users who shared useful, relevant experiences and insights. End users participating in this year’s event represented executives from a variety of countries and industries including oil and gas, chemicals, electrical power, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, water and more.

Program Highlights

The agenda for the 2025 ARC Forum included five days of workshops, keynotes, and sessions spanning the myriad technological developments being adopted by industrial companies and associated business process changes.  This includes Industrial AI, digital twins, open digital ecosystems, analytics, open process automation, industrial edge, and more. Cybersecurity is intertwined with all these developments and is reflected in the topics covered in the Forum’s cybersecurity program.

The Forum cybersecurity program included a cybersecurity workshop day and various sessions throughout the week.
