About us
Welcome! This meetup dedicated to all professionals involved in Cyber Security for Automated Processes and Control Systems including security for Operating Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA Systems, Transportation Systems, Building Control Systems (BCS), and even emerging Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems. Our purpose is to connect the professionals in the Greater Johannesburg area with real interest in or responsibility for the cyber security of these systems.
Once we have enough critical mass of interest in Johannesburg, we will gather for purposes of education, information exchange, and discovery of new opportunities and, yes, perhaps a few happy hours! If you are interested in serving on a committee to help shape this meetup experience, please contact the organizers directly.

## Shielding the Shop Floor: A Symposium on ICS/OT Cybersecurity
In an era where a single line of code can halt a production line across the globe, resilience isn't just a goal—it’s a requirement for survival. Join us for an intensive, high-impact symposium dedicated to the unique challenges of ICS/OT cybersecurity within the manufacturing sector.
***
### Why Attend?
The integration of IT and OT has opened unprecedented doors for efficiency, but it has also expanded the attack surface for bad actors. This symposium brings together frontline defenders, policy experts, and industry leaders to move beyond theoretical security and into battle-tested resilience.
### Key Sessions
- Safeguarding Manufacturing Business Continuity in the Face of Disaster
- The Strategy: Learn how to architect "fail-functional" systems that maintain core operations even during an active breach.
- The Focus: Bridging the gap between rapid incident response and long-term recovery to ensure your bottom line remains protected.
- Case Study Estonia: Resilience in the Face of Cyber Warfare
- The Deep Dive: Analyze the real-world tactics used by one of the world's most digitally advanced nations to repel nation-state cyber aggression.
- The Takeaway: Actionable intelligence on how manufacturing hubs can adopt a "Digital Defense" posture modeled after Estonian infrastructure resilience.

www.LevelZeroConference.com## Attend The Level Zero Conference
The Level Zero Conference brings experts from across industries together to address the complex challenges of securing operational technology. Our multidisciplinary approach integrates engineering, cyber security, and risk management to safeguard critical infrastructure from level zero to the cloud.
Level Zero is designed for professionals responsible for the complex task of protecting their critical infrastructure from catastrophic failures.
Why Attend Level Zero?
#### Bridge the IT-OT Divide
Gain insights from both IT and OT perspectives to develop comprehensive security strategies
#### Expert-Led Sessions
Learn from 60+ first hand authorities on OT threats, defenses, and compliance
#### Hands-On Experience
Participate in the ICS Village, tabletop exercises, and interactive workshops
## Level Zero Delivers.
IT and OT have traditionally operated in silos, with each team lacking a critical understanding of the other. The Level Zero Conference bridges this divide by bringing together experts from OT and IT – engineering, operations, and cyber security.
Fostering collaboration and cross-disciplinary understanding are both essential for the protection of critical infrastructure. Through the exchange of ideas and expertise, Level Zero empowers professionals from different domains to develop a deeper understanding of both IT and OT environments enabling the creation of infrastructure that is integrated and resilient to evolving threats.## Who Should Attend?
Level Zero Conference is for individuals responsible for building, maintaining, and defending ICS/OT environments:
#### Engineers
responsible for addressing cyber threats to physical operations, looking for effective ways to improve the maturity of their security program.
#### Executives
managing cyber security budgets and physical operations, wanting to better understand real threats and ways to build a successful cyber security program.
#### Experts
wanting to learn from other experts and catch up with each other.
#### Practitioners
needing contact with peers facing similar challenges and wanting to learn from experts.
#### Compliance managers
looking to reduce risks and lower costs.
#### Enterprise security
responsible for securing physical operations, wanting to get more insights into the threats of the cyber world.
## Be Part of Securing Our Critical Infrastructure
Level Zero Conference is where the future of OT cyber security is shaped. Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute to and learn from the industry’s leading minds.
