The constant evolution of new technologies is a difficult challenge for safety and cybersecurity professionals, but it also opens up a wide range of opportunities for those who can design safe and secure systems that integrate emerging technologies. Both the risks and opportunities are growing exponentially, which means that poor integration of these two aspects can lead to additional costs, vulnerabilities and even serious injuries to devices and people.
At QA&TEST Safety and Cybersecurity we explore this new reality through the prism of Artificial Intelligence and quantum computing. From this vision we can establish processes that adapt to the disruptions generated by emerging technologies and identify strategies to manage the new risks we face. Finally, we will also delve into some quality factors that play a fundamental role in this integral process, such as technical performance or ethics, among others.
Meet our speaker
To present this new vision we will be joined by Bob Oates, who will take the stage on Thursday, April 3 at 16:30, as part of Track 2: ‘Industrial security and cybersecurity: a practical approach’. Bob is a cybersecurity expert with over a decade of industrial experience, primarily around OT and critical national infrastructures.
As a technical expert, he has worked on numerous highly complex and demanding programs, including the security of the world’s first remotely operated commercial vessel. He is currently an associate director at Cambridge Consultants and has previously been involved in innovative projects for major global players such as National Grid and Rolls Royce. In addition, he has participated in many conferences around the world and his essays and research have been published in high quality journals.
