Cyber in the Wild: Why Attractions, Zoos, and Aquariums Must Think Beyond IT
$100.00
Session Description
| Most guests don’t notice the critical systems behind the scenes like HVAC for habitats, water life support, or guest kiosks that keep attractions, zoos, and aquariums running smoothly. Many are now connected to networks and the internet which improves management but introduces cybersecurity risks. Treating cybersecurity as just an IT issue can leave gaps that jeopardize animal welfare, staff safety, and guest experience. This session offers a practical overview of cybersecurity’s impact on operations and provides clear, actionable steps for those involved in animal care, facility management, or guest services to help mitigate these risks. |
Key Takeaways
| – Recognize how OT systems like habitat controls, life support systems, and access systems are vulnerable to cyber incidents, even in trusted environments. – Connect the dots between cybersecurity, animal welfare, and business continuity in zoo and aquarium operations. – Learn practical, non-technical actions that any team, whether facilities, animal care, or leadership, can take to reduce cyber risk. |
