• Manufacturing environments

- Evolving Risk

• Physical inherent risks due to technology
• Physical damage at a premium
• Risks, losses, and aggregation
• Kinetic Cyber and Killware

Learning objectives:

• Large scale cyber-attacks that have caused physical damage
• Identifying vulnerabilities in systems used to design materials and buildings
• Evolving risks
