Resume on Op:Next 25 in Munich from Samuel Linares, Accenture Global Cyber-Physical Resources Security Lead & Industry X Security Lead

“For me, we’re living one of the most exciting times in recent history. With GenAI, Agentic AI, Physical AI… we’re reinventing everything. And cybersecurity is not just supporting that, it’s accelerating it. It’s becoming a business imperative.
But here’s my bold take, controversial coming from someone that works in the biggest technology firm in the world and history: Technology is not the most critical thing. People are. It’s all about people and trust.
Our organizations, our businesses, our countries: they’re nothing without our people. We need to build trust: Internally, across teams, geographies, and functions; Externally, with partners, suppliers, competitors, and national agencies.
That’s what we tried to do at Operation Next’25: build trust among all of us. Clients, partners, and the OT Security community. We have something special here. Let’s use it.
We closed the day with a private Oktoberfest networking event, thanks to our amazing partners, Nozomi Networks, Fortinet, ServiceNow, and CrowdStrike. Traditional Bavarian food, steins of beer, and great conversations. The perfect ending to an unforgettable day”.
