<p>As manufacturers accelerate their use of artificial intelligence to optimize production, improve quality, and predict maintenance, the cybersecurity stakes have never been higher. This episode explores how AI is reshaping the industrial control system (ICS) landscape — creating both powerful new defense tools and complex new vulnerabilities.</p><p>Our panel of experts dives into how standards like ISA/IEC 62443, NIST CSF 2.0, and MESA’s Smart Manufacturing Model are evolving to address AI-driven risk. We’ll discuss practical steps for securing connected plants, protecting data integrity, and maintaining trust in AI-assisted automation.</p><p>Listeners will learn:</p><ul><li><p>How AI is expanding the ICS attack surface — and how it can also strengthen defenses</p></li><li><p>The role of governance, standards, and data integrity in an AI-enabled OT environment</p></li><li><p>Real-world insights on zero trust, digital twins for cybersecurity, and the convergence of IT/OT security</p></li></ul><p>Join MESA’s host and subject-matter experts as they examine what it takes to build <em>secure, intelligent, and resilient manufacturing systems</em> in the age of AI.</p>
