Tahir Saleem

Chief Innovation Officer

Tahir Saleem is Chief Innovation Officer at SIS Industrial Cyber Security and presents a paper at this summit titled “Your AI Has Never Seen Your Plant: building industrial intelligence below Level 3.5”. The reference to Level 3.5 points to the Purdue reference model, which divides an industrial facility into levels, with Level 3.5 marking the boundary between the corporate network and the operations network. His argument is that AI models trained on IT data fail below that boundary, because industrial control protocols and their operating patterns resemble nothing in the world of office networks.
