About the session

Increased automation and connectivity between IT, control and safety systems is inevitable and provides real business benefits for industry but it also brings risks that can harm people, environment and business if not managed properly. Cybersecurity is a common cause failure that can compromise all the industrial control and safety systems at the same time and is a serious risk to safety and to the UK national infrastructure and needs to be managed. HSE is working with other Government departments to ensure industry has the appropriate information, advice and guidance to manage this area. We want industry to take the lead.
