As we look towards CYBERUK 2025, the theme of ‘Building a Resilient Digital Future’ resonates deeply with the challenges and opportunities facing our digital landscape. One critical aspect of this future is the resilience of Operational Technology (OT) systems, which are integral to the functioning of critical infrastructure such as energy, water supply, and transportation. Enhancing the resilience of these systems is not just a technical necessity but a strategic imperative for ensuring the stability, safety, and economic well-being of our societies.
