Morning: Chicago Google Cloud Office
Afternoon:  MxD Facility 

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

Attendees included 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 morning kicked off with briefings from MFG-ISAC and Google Cloud security leaders, giving insider access to the latest threat intelligence and sector-wide trends shaping manufacturing. Then the group jumped into a realistic TTX led by Google’s Sri Gourisetti and MFG-ISAC’s Brian Katula. Participants stress-tested their response against complex cyber and operational disruption scenarios.

After lunch, the event shifted to MxD, the nation’s digital manufacturing institute, for immersive live demonstrations to see how advanced manufacturing technologies and cybersecurity solutions work together on the factory floor.

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