ISA announces its 2026 Prague cybersecurity summit programme

The International Society of Automation has released the full programme for its fourth annual OT Cybersecurity Summit, to be held in Prague from 16 to 18 June 2026, drawing hundreds of senior operational technology security professionals from the energy, manufacturing, water, oil and gas and maritime sectors.

The 2026 summit introduces two new breakfast forum sessions as an addition to the main conference programme. These are designed to create focused discussion space among senior professionals at management level before the main day gets under way, and reflect organiser feedback that practitioners value structured, smaller-group conversations alongside the larger plenary format.

The overall programme is organised around two central themes: threat intelligence in supply chain security, and cyber-physical safety risk management. Both reflect the growing recognition in the operational technology community that cybersecurity threats no longer respect the boundary between digital and physical infrastructure, and that supply chains have become a primary attack vector.

The keynote address will be delivered by Berta Jarošová, Czechia's cyber attachée to the United States and Canada, who will offer perspectives on transatlantic cyber cooperation. Her participation reflects the increasing internationalisation of OT security policy and the need for coordinated responses that cross national lines.

Early-bird registration is available at a reduced rate until 17 April 2026, with tickets for the full conference programme starting at USD 940 for ISA members. The International Society of Automation, founded in 1945, develops the ISA/IEC 62443 standards series widely regarded as the global baseline for industrial control system cybersecurity.
