Summit 2026
- 27th - 28th, October 2026
- Abu Dhabi, UAE
Advancing OT Cyber Security, ICS Protection & AI-Driven Operational Resilience.
The World OT Summit 2026 is a premier international platform dedicated exclusively to OT cyber security, industrial control systems (ICS) security, cyber security for operational technology, and critical infrastructure protection and national security. The summit brings together global policymakers, regulators, CISOs, asset owners, plant operators, and OT cyber security solution providers to address real-world risks facing IT and OT networks, IT and OT systems, and industrial environments.
As global industries accelerate digital transformation, Operational Technology (OT) security has become mission-critical. The convergence of IT and OT systems, OT ICS security, and AI-driven cybersecurity is redefining how critical infrastructure is protected.
This summit goes beyond compliance to focus on practical OT cyber security solutions, artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps), and advanced Clarity OT Security frameworks that improve visibility, governance, and resilience across industrial environments.
