MFG-ISAC and Google Cloud present: Manufacturing Security, and IT Dependencies to OT Tabletop Exercise

November 12, 2025
8:00 am - 5:30 pm

Morning: Chicago Google Cloud Office
Afternoon:  MxD Facility 

Join MFG-ISAC and Google Cloud in Chicago for a fast-paced tabletop exercise (TTX) to test manufacturing security and operational resilience. This is a chance to review strategies, share intelligence, and see what it really takes to defend and sustain critical operations amid today’s threat landscape.

Who should attend? Functional team leads in IT/OT, network security, and operations, and executives with leadership over decisions around information security, network security and monitoring, incident response, and operations in the manufacturing environment. The more personnel from an organization that attend, and with the broadest set of responsibilities, the better that group will be able to test their own incident response plans.

The morning kicks off with briefings from MFG-ISAC and Google Cloud security leaders, giving you insider access to the latest threat intelligence and sector-wide trends shaping manufacturing. Then, dive straight into a realistic TTX led by Google’s Sri Gourisetti and MFG-ISAC’s Brian Katula. Participants will stress-test their response against complex cyber and operational disruption scenarios that hit where it hurts most.

After lunch, the action shifts to MxD, the nation’s digital manufacturing institute, for immersive live demonstrations. See how advanced manufacturing technologies and cybersecurity solutions work together on the factory floor, to not only safeguard operations but also strengthen sector-wide resilience.

The day wraps with a closeout panel and open Q&A, followed by a networking event for your opportunity to engage with peers, experts, and innovators tackling similar challenges.

Whether you’re steering strategy, securing operations, or building resilience into your supply chain, this event delivers an immersive, practical, and collaborative experience designed to prepare manufacturing leaders for what’s coming.
