Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Cybersecurity Conference 2026
This is a long-running event series focused on industrial cybersecurity. It brings together stakeholders from multiple industries, including operations and control engineers, IT professionals, government representatives, vendors, and academic researchers. The program centers on operational technology and IT/OT security, with discussions spanning SCADA, DCS, PLC, and field controller security. Over time, the event’s emphasis has evolved from general awareness to the examination of real-world incidents, practical solutions, and strategies for protecting operational technology environments.
As an early conference dedicated to cybersecurity in industrial control systems, the series serves professionals from energy, utilities, chemicals, transportation, manufacturing, and other critical infrastructure sectors that operate OT environments. Sessions address a wide range of cybersecurity risks affecting ICS operators worldwide, including protection approaches for SCADA platforms, plant control systems, engineering workstations, substation equipment, programmable logic controllers, and other field control devices.
Most attendees are control systems users working in control engineering, cybersecurity, operations management, or IT roles. Represented industries include manufacturing, electric power generation and distribution, water utilities, chemicals, oil and gas, pipelines, transportation, data centers, and medical devices. Additional participants come from control system vendors, security product and service providers, industry associations, universities, and government agencies in the US and abroad.
