Leading Strategic Innovation – Programme Overview
This intensive 3-day programme is designed to equip professionals across critical sectors manufacturing, pharma, energy, BFSI, and critical infrastructure with a comprehensive understanding of Operational Technology (OT) security and the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Industry 5.0 environments.
Grounded in global standards such as IEC 62443, NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001/27019, and aligned with emerging Indian regulations including the DPDP Act 2023, the programme combines conceptual depth with practical application. Participants will gain boardroom-ready insights as well as hands-on skills to strengthen OT security and resilience.
WHY THIS PROGRAMME?
- Industry-Agnostic Framework – Flexible design, adaptable across diverse verticals with sector-specific relevance.
- Balanced Learning Approach – Conceptual theory in the morning, labs, demos, and tabletop exercises in the afternoon.
- Future-Ready Content – Focus on AI-enabled predictive, preventive, and proactive defense; micro & nano-segmentation; iSOC-based threat detection.
- Business-Oriented Outcomes – ROI mapping, resilience scoring, downtime impact analysis, and risk-to-rupee translation.
- Hands-On Engagement – Exposure to SCADA fence, Nozomi, iSOC demos, OT-Drishti resilience scoring, and OT-specific crisis simulations.
