Ivan Alcoforado

Principal Director @Accenture

I help enable Canadian critical infrastructure organizations to better prepare, accelerate and operate the security of their cyber-physical systems, building more cyber confidence in their business. Prepare: Helping maximize existing investments to protect what matters most, establish enterprise-wide visibility and fully operationalized Information Technology (IT)/ Operational Technology (OT) security capabilities, and enhance preparedness to respond and recover quickly, minimizing business impact. Accelerate: Rationalizing IT/OT security vendors and tools, modernizing industrial security applications and services, building interoperability and automation to accelerate growth with strong cyber resilience. Operate: Continuously improving IT/OT cyber resilience with Managed Security Services, aligning services to vision, innovating to enhance effectiveness and efficiency, leveraging global capabilities, and quickly adapting to business changes. I lead a strategic value IT/OT project/program portfolio and the Canadian Operational Technology (OT) security team, which delivers in Canada and the U.S, looking after topics like industrial Internet of Things (IIoT/IoT), 5G, and edge/cloud.
