Cyber-Physical Risk in the Age of AI: How Safety Leaders and Boards Can Protect Operational Technology

Posted on March 26, 2026 by Chet Brandon

Artificial intelligence is reshaping cyber risk — and for industrial organizations, the stakes are no longer just digital.

Cyber attacks on operational technology (OT) can now disrupt physical processes, threaten worker safety, and create significant economic impact. Managing this evolving risk requires new thinking that connects plant-level realities with boardroom oversight.

I’m excited to share a new four-part thought leadership series I’ve co-authored with Fay Feeney, bringing together perspectives from industrial safety leadership and enterprise governance.

Together we explore how organizations can strengthen operational resilience, cyber-physical risk management, and strategic oversight in the age of AI.

Part 1 is now available — more to follow soon.
