Australia’s new automation, control and instrumentation conference, ACI Connect, will feature a panel discussion aimed at debunking the myths surrounding cybersecurity and its potential impact on the engineering and manufacturing sectors.

“Cybersecurity - fact or fiction?” will be chaired by What’s New in Process Technology editor and security expert Glenn Johnson. Glenn will be joined by cybersecurity guru Dr Chris Beggs and Adam Rickards from Daanet.

The event is being held at Melbourne Olympic Park on 9-10 April and the latest conference program is now available at http://aciconnect.com.au/pages/conference-program.
