OT Security Sydney
FAQ
What is OT Security Sydney?
OT Security Sydney is an in-person conference for senior leaders and practitioners responsible for securing operational technology, industrial control systems and the critical assets that depend on them. The 2027 event takes place on 9 February at Royal Randwick Racecourse and brings together security, IT, engineering and operations professionals to examine how organisations can protect physical operations without compromising safety, availability or continuity.
The programme focuses on the decisions that become difficult when cyber security actions can create operational consequences. It explores who has authority to act when cyber risk becomes operational risk, how to manage remote access and third-party connections, how to strengthen incident response and operational resilience, and how to reduce exposure in ageing or unpatchable infrastructure.
Rather than treating OT security as a controls-only challenge, OT Security Sydney is designed to help attendees compare practical approaches, learn from peers and make better-informed decisions across cyber security, engineering, operations and business continuity. Explore the OT Security Sydney website.
Who should attend OT Security Sydney?
OT Security Sydney is designed for Chiefs, VPs, Directors, Heads, Managers and other senior professionals responsible for cyber security across OT environments, control systems, engineering and critical assets. It is particularly relevant to leaders across energy, utilities, manufacturing, mining, transport, healthcare and industrial sectors who must protect operations without compromising safety, availability or continuity.
What OT security challenges does the event address?
OT Security Sydney addresses the practical challenges of protecting operational environments that cannot always be stopped, patched, rebuilt or isolated. The programme focuses on decision authority, remote and third-party access, connected engineering, machine identities, incident response, operational resilience and the management of ageing or unpatchable infrastructure.

Why attend OT Security Sydney?
OT Security Sydney is designed for leaders responsible for protecting critical operations where cyber security decisions can have real-world operational, safety and continuity consequences. Many OT teams are dealing with challenges that cannot be solved through traditional IT security approaches alone, including ageing infrastructure, unpatchable systems, remote and third-party access, connected engineering environments and increasing operational dependence on digital systems.
Rather than focusing only on controls and technology, the event helps attendees pressure-test decisions, compare approaches with peers and explore how other organisations are managing cyber risk in environments that cannot simply be stopped, rebuilt or isolated. The programme examines how organisations are addressing operational resilience, incident response, governance, decision authority and trust across increasingly connected OT ecosystems.
Through practitioner-led discussions, case studies and peer networking, attendees can benchmark their strategies against other OT security leaders, learn how organisations are responding to emerging operational threats and explore practical approaches to reducing risk without compromising critical operations.
Unlike many cyber security events, OT Security Sydney is built around the operational realities and trade-offs OT leaders face every day. The event provides a forum to challenge assumptions, learn from organisations facing similar constraints and take away practical ideas that can be applied across cyber security, engineering, operations and business continuity. Explore the OT Security Sydney website.
What will I learn at OT Security Sydney?
Attendees will gain practical insights into how organisations are prioritising OT risk by operational consequence, securing remote and third-party access, managing ageing and unpatchable infrastructure, and strengthening resilience across critical operations.
The programme explores how OT, engineering, operations and cyber security teams can work together more effectively when operational continuity, safety and security priorities must be balanced. Attendees will learn how peers are approaching governance, incident response, operational resilience, lifecycle management and decision-making in increasingly connected environments.
Sessions are designed to provide practical lessons, real-world experiences and approaches that attendees can adapt within their own organisations. The focus is on what organisations are doing to reduce risk, improve visibility and strengthen resilience rather than on theoretical frameworks alone.
How is OT Security Sydney different from other cyber security events?
OT Security Sydney is built around the tensions OT leaders manage in practice. A cyber action that looks correct in isolation can create an operational, safety or continuity consequence. The programme therefore focuses on decision-making at the intersection of security, engineering, operations and business resilience rather than treating OT security as a controls-only challenge.
What networking opportunities are available at OT Security Sydney?
OT Security Sydney brings together senior security, IT, OT and ICS leaders for focused peer discussion and networking. Attendees can connect with professionals responsible for cyber security, engineering, operations, control systems and critical assets across sectors including energy, utilities, manufacturing, mining, transport, healthcare and other industrial environments.
The networking programme is designed to support practical conversations across disciplines that must work together when cyber risk affects safety, availability and operational continuity. It gives attendees opportunities to compare approaches, discuss common constraints and build relationships with peers facing similar OT security challenges.
The main conference pass includes exhibition access, networking opportunities, all-day catering and networking drinks. Check the latest agenda for current timings and formats. Download the agenda.

What are the focus topics for OT Security Sydney 2027?
OT Security Sydney 2027 is organised around four focus topics that reflect the operational and decision-making pressures facing OT security leaders:
The authority gap - Close the space between who owns a cyber decision and who has authority to act as accountability spans security, engineering and operations.
Trust beyond the fence line - Extend confidence beyond the traditional OT boundary by addressing remote access, connected engineering and machine identities.
Stronger through disruption - Build the capability to withstand, respond to and recover from disruption, using incidents and near misses to strengthen resilience.
The legacy trap - Manage ageing and unpatchable infrastructure through lifecycle discipline and compensating controls when replacement is not realistic.
