It was great to attend SIEMENS Transform event today in Manchester. Some insightful talks around disruptive industrial leadership, starting the journey to transitioning to Electric Vehicles and a fantastic panel discussion on cyber security going from a 'grudge purchase' to a business enabler. Some of the key themes and topics were focused around sustainability, digital transformation, productivity, investment in manufacturing, securing operational technology and the increased adoption of artificial intelligence. Met some interesting people, saw some impressive technology and took plenty of useful thoughts to reflect on over the next few days and think about how I can introduce into my customer conversations. #SIEMENSTransform2024 #cybersecurity

The industrial sector is rapidly evolving, and collaboration & technology are driving unprecedented innovation. However, with multiple manufacturers involved in complex supply chains, #cybersecurity concerns loom large. Josh Foster, former GM of Connected Vehicle Software at Garrett shares his insights: "Historically, traditional OEMs weren’t cyber-focused. Now, with data aggregation via software platforms, cyber awareness is crucial." As the focus on cyber accelerates part of the challenge is in attracting skilled professionals, as industrial companies compete with tech giants like #Google and #Apple. He emphasizes that cybersecurity is essential for brand reputation and requires a shift in approach to attract top talent.
