Manufacturing Security
& Resilience
A decision-driven tabletop exercise for manufacturing and enterprise leaders on cyber-physical disruption, executive decision-making, and operational continuity.
As part of the broader GRF Summit on Security & Third-Party Risk experience in Orlando, MFG-ISAC and Google Cloud are convening a limited-capacity manufacturing security and resilience tabletop exercise for senior leaders responsible for cyber, OT, operations, infrastructure, risk, and executive decision-making.
This session moves beyond discussion of emerging threats and into the practical decisions leaders must make when disruption affects manufacturing operations — recognizing disruption, escalating uncertainty, coordinating across cyber and OT teams, and determining when recovery is safe and defensible.
The exercise is not a technical cyber range. It is a strategic tabletop focused on decisions, tradeoffs, governance, communications, and operational continuity.
Turn summit themes into decisions
Connect broader summit discussions to a realistic scenario and the decisions leaders must make during disruption.
Test disruption readiness
Examine how organizations detect, assess, escalate, and respond to a disruptive incident affecting manufacturing operations.
Strengthen executive decision-making
Clarify decision rights, escalation thresholds, risk acceptance, and governance during periods of uncertainty.
Improve cyber, OT & ops coordination
Explore how cyber, OT, operations, and business teams coordinate when disruption crosses technical boundaries.
Sustain priority operations
Discuss manual workarounds, safety, quality, and customer commitments during degraded conditions.
Compare approaches with peers
Surface practical lessons and defensible approaches across manufacturing organizations through facilitated discussion.
What signals should trigger escalation?
Who has authority to restrict, isolate, continue, or restore critical services?
How should cyber, OT, operations, risk, legal, and executive teams coordinate?
What operations must continue, even under degraded conditions?
What evidence is needed before systems or data can be trusted again?
How should leaders balance operational pressure, safety, and residual risk?
This tabletop is designed for senior leaders attending or participating in the GRF Summit on Security & Third-Party Risk, with responsibility for cybersecurity, OT, manufacturing operations, infrastructure, resilience, risk, incident response, or executive crisis decision-making.
