Yesterday, we had an inspiring and engaging OT Security workshop as part of the CISO community Nederland. It was an afternoon filled with knowledge sharing, valuable discussions, and practical insights. The workshop started with Justin Broeders MA MBI (CISO at Ministerie van Financiën and board member of CISO Platform Nederland), who expertly set the scene for the session and gave the stage to Kirsten Dijkhuizen - Meeuwisse (CISO at Rijkswaterstaat) who shared how her team ensures the security of both OT and IT within her organization. Her keynote wrapped up with an insightful Q&A that sparked engaging conversations. The plenary part of the program concluded with a panel discussion between Godfried B., Jan Joost Bierhoff, Lilian K. and Kirsten Dijkhuizen - Meeuwisse that delivered some fascinating insights and lively debates. After a short networking break - where discussions continued with great energy - the group split into two for the breakout sessions: 🔹 Session 1: The challenges of connecting IT & OT, led by Suzanne R. MBA, from sponsored partner Accenture, and Jan Joost Bierhoff (CISO at The HEINEKEN Company). 🔹 Session 2: NIS2, Risk Management, and Compliance in OT Security, led by Jalal Bouhdada (DNV) and Justin Broeders MA MBI. Godfried B. was given the honour of leading the final discussion on building resilience and ensuring business continuity in OT environments.   A huge thank you to all the speakers, participants, and partners who made this workshop a success. Together, we’re building a stronger, safer, and more resilient OT security landscape!

The future of OT security – Some organizations manage OT security separately from IT security, while others adopt a more integrated approach.

Together with Jan Joost Bierhoff (The HEINEKEN Company), Lilian K. (Gemeente Den Haag), and Godfried B. (CC Security) we will discuss the future of OT security. By bringing different perspectives to the table, we aim for an insightful discussion on the trends and challenges of OT security, moderated by Justin Broeders MA MBI, CISO at the Ministerie van Financiën.
