Industrial organizations have security tools, compliance programs, and technical controls in place. Yet when cyber risk reaches the leadership level, many teams struggle to translate technical findings into clear business decisions. That gap between technology and leadership is where operational risk often grows unnoticed.

In this session, Terry McCorkle, CEO and Founder of PhishCloud, and Chris Weule, Director of Operational Technology, Cyber Fusion & Strategy, examine the missing leadership layer in industrial cybersecurity and explain how the OT vCISO model strengthens cyber resilience across both IT and OT environments. Drawing from real-world operational experience, they will walk through how unified leadership, clear accountability, and business-aligned security strategy reduce downtime risk and give executives the visibility needed to act with confidence.

You’ll learn what effective cyber leadership looks like in industrial environments, how successful organizations bridge the IT and OT divide, and why governance and decision clarity are just as critical as technology. If your organization is working to strengthen resilience, improve risk ownership, or prepare leadership to make confident decisions under pressure, this session provides a practical look at what good truly looks like.
