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.
Our mission is to help critical industries achieve uptime, stability, and resilience in an era of rapid digital and operational change.
Through highly focused virtual forums, we connect decision-makers with the insights, tools, and strategies needed to keep mission-critical operations performing under pressure..
TechOps Senate is an extension of Cyber Senate, created to address the growing need for AI, cloud, and DataOps resilience across mission-critical infrastructure through targeted virtual events — and to serve as a catalyst for future live event launches.
Rolling Stock Data Center Cyber Security Webinar with the Cyber Senate
AI, machine learning and big data analytics are creating a new paradigm for Rail OEM's, but how are they ensuring safety, reliability and cybersecurity of real-time data access, data in transit, cloud, onboard control systems and control centres?
As rolling stock business models change with the introduction of new technology, digitisation and big data solutions, implementation of IoT or the "The Internet of Trains," enables the consolidation of large volumes of data with business processes and IT systems, creating rolling stock data centers in their own right. With new service offerings for predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, passenger information systems and a plethora of onboard connected sub systems on the rise, bundled data from the vehicles, the infrastructure, and the operations are just the beginning.
Security Monitoring Cloud Infrastructure Webinar and Podcast
Cloud computing technology is a key business driver, enabling the sharing of railway information resources, improving the capacity of information processing. However, cloud security monitoring remains a barrier to the full realisation of Cloud’s capability.
Cyber Senate Peer to Peer Network attracts key stakeholders across the critical infrastructure sector
The Cyber Senate are providing a 365 day a year Peer to Peer B2B network for those who have attended and presented at our events for the past 6 years. We are also accepting key subject matter experts that have official requirements to engage with asset owners to ensure public health and safety.
Rail Cyber Security Report
Cyber Senate are providing the Rail Cyber Security Report free during the Coronavirus crisis to all Rail Cyber Security community members. Contact marketing@cybersenate.com to ask for access.
Technology drives innovation in Buildings Post COVID19
What will the buildings sector look like post coronavirus? How can we utilise innovation to ensure business continuity and better define resilience? As the sector looks at how post-COVID19 digital retrofits will be implemented and financed, now is the time for the C Suite to not lose sight of the fundamentals of cybersecurity by design. New technology deployments will need to be more secure than ever and getting C level buy-in will be paramount.
Selecting and Safely Using Collaboration Services for Telework
Selecting and Safely Using Collaboration Services for Telework.
During a global pandemic or other crisis contingency scenarios, many United States Government (USG) personnel must operate from home while continuing to perform critical national functions and support continuity of government services. With limited access to government-furnished equipment (GFE) such as laptops and secure smartphones, the use of (not typically approved) commercial collaboration services on personal devices for limited government official use becomes necessary and unavoidable.
Cyber Senate launches new Directors Clubs post Coronavirus lockdown
Cyber Senate today announced the launch of the Directors Clubs©, that will commence once lockdown has ended and the government give the all-clear for a minimum of twenty people to meet at any one time in the UK, Europe and North America.
Risk Management for Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
This product is for executives to help them think through physical, supply chain, and cybersecurity issues that may arise from the spread of Novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 has been detected in locations around the world, including multiple areas throughout the U.S. This is a rapidly evolving situation and for more information, visit the CDC’s COVID-19 Situation Summary
