About the Event

Digital transformation, the adoption of cloud services and the increasing interconnection between corporate systems and production networks have made cybersecurity a strategic challenge for organisations, extending beyond technology teams to involve senior management, operations and risk management functions.

Against this backdrop, the Technology, Innovation and Science Committee of BritCham Chile will host the discussion “Cybersecurity in Practice: Risk Management, Resilience and IT/OT Security”, providing an opportunity to examine the challenges companies currently face in protecting their digital assets, critical systems and business continuity.

The discussion will place particular emphasis on the integrated management of risks across Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) environments, as well as the practical application of international cybersecurity standards and frameworks.

Key Topics

The discussion will address, among other topics:

Cybersecurity risk management across IT and OT environments.
Practical implementation of standards and frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIST.
Security in production networks and industrial environments.
Cloud security and identity, access and role management.
Business continuity and resilience in the face of cyber incidents.
Cybersecurity governance and organisational culture.
Key challenges in embedding information security into corporate strategy.
