| 11:30 As industrial organizations across Latin America accelerate digital transformation and AI adoption, cybersecurity programs must evolve beyond traditional compliance activities and become a core component of operational resilience. While regulations, standards, and industry frameworks continue to mature, the organizations achieving the best outcomes are those that treat cybersecurity as an ongoing business program rather than a series of isolated projects. . – Mauricio Barbarulo, Industrial Cyber Security Consultant, Rockwell Automation . | |
| 12:00 Maintaining continuous visibility over legacy and modern OT assets remains one of the greatest challenges in critical infrastructure. This session presents a practical approach to using robust open-source monitoring architectures, such as Zabbix, to bridge the visibility gap in industrial networks. We will discuss how to track asset health, monitor critical resources, and establish rapid-response workflows using real-time communication channels like WhatsApp for incident alerts. Attendees will discover how combining proactive monitoring with agile alerting enhances operational resilience and strengthens the security posture of the plant floor without overcomplicating the technical stack. .. .– Thadeu Tourinho, CISO, Tereos . | |
| 12:30 The journey toward autonomous operations requires a new approach to industrial cybersecurity. Learn how organizations can protect people, assets, and critical processes through Secure-by-Design architectures, Zero Trust strategies, OT cybersecurity maturity assessments, continuous monitoring, and Cyber Proactive Defense. Discover practical methods to reduce risk and build more resilient industrial environments. ... – Walter Montes Dávila, OT Cybersecurity Consultant, Honeywell . | |
| 13:00Lunch hosted by Gemina | |
| 14:00 A live crisis simulation for leaders and engineers. The audience runs a manufacturer through a 6 AM OT incident across four real decisions, compares their choices with real companies actually did, and leaves with a practical five-question readiness checklist . – Pedro Estévez Fernández, CEO, Greinfort . | |

| 09:40 The session addresses how organizations can evolve from regulatory compliance to a more resilient posture in OT environments, integrating the principles of IEC 62443, NIST 800-82, and NIS2. The content presents paths to align governance, risk management, security controls, and operational continuity in critical infrastructures. . – Grazziani Sousa, Head of Presales Brazil, Kaspersky . | |
| 10:10Networking Break | |
| 10:50 As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in critical industries, organizations often focus on tools, infrastructure and technical controls while underestimating the human and organizational risks involved. This session explores why AI readiness depends not only on technology, but also on data & AI literacy, governance, decision-making and workforce capability. Drawing on practical experience in data and analytics leadership, Priscila Paolinelli will discuss how organizations can create the conditions for responsible AI adoption, strengthen human oversight and ensure that innovation generates value without compromising trust, security or accountability.. .– Priscila J. Papazissis Paolinelli, Head of Data Analytics, Vallourec . | |

| 14:00 As part of Braskem’s industrial cybersecurity transformation, a global OT asset inventory solution was deployed across more than 40 sites in four countries. Covering over 8,000 assets, the initiative transformed a manual inventory process that previously took weeks into an automated, near real-time capability. Beyond improving asset visibility, the program established governance processes, strengthened collaboration between cybersecurity and automation teams, and created a trusted foundation for vulnerability management, compliance, risk assessment, and operational decision-making. This session will share the implementation journey, key challenges, lessons learned, and the value of turning OT data into actionable risk intelligence. – Renata Araújo, Leader of Cyber OT & Industrial Digital Solutions, Braskem | |
| 14:20 OT monitoring generates alerts from cybersecurity tools, XDR platforms, firewalls, and HMIs. This session explores how users, operators, and maintenance personnel can add operational context to distinguish noise, false positives, and legitimate activities, manage reassignment and escalation, and help the SOC focus on alerts that truly require investigation or response. . – Robert Montoya, Corporate OT Manager, Saavi Energía . | |

| 15:20Networking Break | |
| 15:50 As cybersecurity risks continue to grow in critical infrastructure environments, the P-84 and P-85 offshore platform projects adopted a proactive Security by Design approach. Three cybersecurity workshops, in China and Singapore, were conducted during the engineering phase to assess industrial automation systems before implementation. The initiative identified architectural improvements, security controls, and technology updates, reducing cybersecurity risks during commissioning and helping ensure a smoother transition to operations without security-related barriers to production startup. – Eduardo Marsola do Nascimento, Head of OT Security – Interim, Petrobras | |
