Industrial Talk/BCC is talking to Ulrich Seldeslachts, CEO at LSEC about "What CISOs are losing sleep over in 2026".

Overview The discussion examined cybersecurity risks facing organizations and how leaders can protect operations without slowing business activity. Key Challenges
  • Legacy operational technology, IT/OT alignment, and supplier vulnerabilities make it difficult to keep manufacturing and other critical operations secure.
  • The European NIS2 regulation requires covered organizations to demonstrate cybersecurity measures and address supply-chain risk. Scarce cybersecurity talent and expensive, complex tools add to the burden.
  • Ulrichdescribed difficulty securing management support and resources when executives do not prioritize cybersecurity.

Approaches and Open Questions
  • AI can help analyze security data and review product documentation, but its output needs guardrails and human review.
  • The Cyber Resilience Act will require products with digital elements sold in Europe to meet cybersecurity and documentation requirements; noncompliant products may be removed from the market. New products must comply from January 2028.
  • How can organizations secure extensive supplier networks and legacy systems while maintaining business continuity and pace of innovation?

Outline CISO and Operational Risk
  • Legacy operational technology and IT/OT alignment create ongoing security challenges.
  • Supplier cybersecurity is a business-continuity risk, reinforced by NIS2 requirements.
  • Cybersecurity staffing gaps and poorly fitted or underused tools constrain organizations.

AI and Regulation
  • AI supports analysis of large volumes of security data and review of compliance documentation; guardrails and human review remain important.
  • The Cyber Resilience Act applies to products with digital elements entering the European market, with requirements for new products from January 2028.

Organizational Readiness
  • Executives must understand cybersecurity risks and provide appropriate resources.
  • Ulrich described practical engagement with hospital teams and boards to build awareness and improve cybersecurity maturity.
