‘It was a great 3 days. Lots of conversations around OT Security and Plant 360 – in particular how to get better visibility, insights, and value out of the data on the plant floor, including all the legacy systems that are not yet connected nor providing valuable data, and then likewise doing that in a secure way.’ And ‘Really liked the layout and flow of the event.’
