OT Defenders Summit London 2026

OTIFYD's OT Defenders Summit returns to London on 8 July 2026, bringing together industrial cybersecurity practitioners for a day of practical insight, peer exchange, and real-world OT security discussion at the Churchill War Rooms

Taking place on 8 July 2026 at the Churchill War Rooms in London, the OT Defenders Summit is an exclusive gathering for professionals responsible for protecting industrial operations, critical infrastructure, and operational technology environments.

Created by OTIFYD, the summit is designed for a carefully selected community of OT security leaders, engineers, asset owners, operators, practitioners, and technology partners. The programme is built around practical technical insight and honest peer exchange, with a deliberate focus on real-world industrial cybersecurity challenges rather than generic presentations or vendor-led discussion.

Sessions will cover a range of topics relevant to those securing live OT environments, including:

• OT cyber resilience and incident readiness
• Process automation security and remote access
• Threat detection and third-party risk
• Digital and physical twin environments for testing, training, and uptime optimisation

The programme also includes closed-door roundtables, technical case studies from critical infrastructure and manufacturing settings, technology showcases, and hyper-realistic OT training exercises.

Attendance is by invitation and subject to confirmation. UK-based OT security professionals are encouraged to register their interest via the OTIFYD website.
