PANEL: When Cyber Meets Physical: Managing Risk in Converged Environments
As digital systems and physical infrastructure become increasingly interconnected, the convergence of cyber and physical environments is reshaping how risk is understood and managed. From smart buildings and industrial control systems to critical infrastructure and connected assets, vulnerabilities in one domain can quickly cascade into the other, creating complex and often unpredictable threat scenarios. This panel brings together perspectives from security, engineering, technology and operations to reflect on how organisations are navigating this convergence in practice. It will also consider the challenges of integrating cyber and physical risk strategies, aligning stakeholders and strengthening resilience, highlighting the need for a more holistic approach to managing risk in an increasingly interconnected world.
