Backed Up, Can't Recover: What We Keep Finding in Manufacturing Environments
Industrial Cyber Day Manufacturing
10.45pm EDT (3.45pm UTC) 13th May 2026
Prevention isn’t enough in OT
This session shows how to move from backups to true cyber resilience—designing for recovery, validating it works, and applying a practical 30/60/90-day plan—supported by real-world research and case studies into where manufacturers are falling short.
Key Takeaways/Learning
- Understanding cyber resilience as a recovery problem, not just a prevention challenge — why the ability to restore operations defines real resilience in manufacturing environments
- Learning what “good” looks like for backups in OT — how legacy systems, mixed estates, and operational constraints shape backup design and impact recoverability
- Learning how validation and real-world testing turn backups into proven recovery capability — using practical methods, industry research, and customer scenarios to move from assumption to confidence
