In this Media Archive episode of The InfoSec Control Room, Taher Amine ELHOUARI shares an intervention from the North Africa OT Security Forum, originally featured on ExpressFM.
This discussion focuses on IT/OT convergence, cybersecurity risks, operational resilience, and the opportunities created when industrial environments, critical systems, and digital technologies become increasingly connected.
The episode reflects one of the core missions of The InfoSec Control Room: looking beyond technical security controls and asking what cyber risk means for governance, continuity, resilience, accountability, and decision-making in real operational environments.
Rather than treating OT security as only a technical challenge, this session highlights the importance of risk ownership, industrial cybersecurity maturity, executive awareness, business continuity, and collaboration between IT, OT, security, and leadership teams.
