They also showed how an AI-based, self-learning approach can close the gap when it comes to securing these vital systems.
This was a detailed dive into one of the most worrying cyber-threats of our time, and you can enjoy it at your leisure by heading here and watching it on-demand.
Smart systems need smart people to run them - and you'll certainly be that little bit smarter for hitting play on this talk.
