Operational resilience is the new cybersecurity

Welcome to Cyber Senate

Cyber Senate brings together the leaders responsible for ensuring the systems our world depends on remain safe, resilient, and operational — even when disrupted by cyber incidents, system failures, or unpredictable AI behaviour.

As AI, automation, and digitalisation transform industrial operations, our focus is shifting with the industry itself:
from pure cybersecurity to operational resilience.

We sit at the intersection of AI Safety, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Protection, OT Security, and Industrial Reliability, helping organisations prepare not only to prevent disruptions, but to detect them faster, respond decisively, recover quickly, and maintain continuity of service.

For more than a decade, Cyber Senate has convened operators, engineers, safety leaders, and security professionals across rail, energy, aviation, water, manufacturing, transport, mining, and other mission-critical sectors.
Today, our mission expands to address the new realities of an AI-enabled industrial environment — where safety, reliability, and resilience are inseparable.


Our Mission

To strengthen the resilience, safety, and reliability of AI-driven, cyber-physical environments.

We provide trusted cross-sector forums where operators, regulators, technology providers, and assurance leaders share practical insight on maintaining safe and dependable operations under increasingly complex, interconnected, and adversarial conditions.


Our Focus

AI Safety & Assurance

Ensuring AI systems behave safely, predictably, and transparently in high-consequence environments — and understanding how AI failures or adversarial manipulation can impact physical operations.

Cyber-Physical Resilience

Protecting interconnected industrial systems and ensuring they continue to operate during — not just before or after — cyber incidents, disruptions, or system failures.

OT Safety, Reliability, and Continuity

Maintaining stable, safe industrial processes through rapid detection, response, and recovery across distributed, legacy, and modernised OT environments.

Digital Transformation & Safety Engineering

Examining how automation, robotics, digital twins, and remote operations reshape engineering risk, operational resilience, and safety assurance.


Join the Community

Cyber Senate is part of a broader resilience ecosystem.
As operational resilience increasingly depends on both physical systems and digital foundations like identity, cloud, data integrity, and AI, we launched TechOps Senate — a sister brand dedicated to these digital and public-sector environments.
Together, Cyber Senate and TechOps Senate bring together the engineering, security, operations, and digital leaders who keep society’s most important services running safely and reliably.

TechOps Senate brings together leaders across operations, engineering, data, and resilience to strengthen the systems the world relies on.
