In this week’s “Business Minute with Lily Lopez,” we’re featuring Melissa Boutwell, LEED AP OM, President & CEO of Automation Strategy & Performance (ASP)! 🌟 She shares her insights on driving innovation through automation and strategy. 🤖💼 As a panelist at the @sflhcc 20th Annual Business Conference and Expo on Cybersecurity Challenges in the Digital Economy, Melissa dove into the critical importance of safeguarding Operational Technology (OT)—the systems that monitor and control physical devices in industries like manufacturing and energy. With OT systems becoming more connected, cybersecurity is key to protecting vital operations. Awareness is extremely important, as hacking these systems can affect our water supply, electricity and more. 🔒 ASP helps businesses streamline operations by automating processes, improving efficiency, and driving performance. 💡📈 #BusinessMinute #AutomationExcellence #Cybersecurity #OTCybersecurity #LeadershipSpotlight #WomenInBusiness #Innovation #SFLHCC #Entrepreneurship
