    Your OT Cybersecurity Strategy Is Failing: Here's Why

    Podcast: Industrial Cybersecurity InsiderEpisode: Your OT Cybersecurity Strategy Is Failing: Here's WhyPub date: 2026-02-17Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationDino and Craig reunite to tackle the shifts occuring in industrial cybersecurity in 2026. They discuss how OT-focused IDS software companies are shifting away from managed services to partner with systems integrators who understand the plant floor. The conversation explores the challenges manufacturers face—from aging infrastructure spanning decades to flat layer-2 networks that give remote vendors unrestricted access. They emphasize that IT departments cannot effectively manage OT assets they don't own or understand, especially when dealing with equipment older than their cybersecurity staff. The episode covers the pitfalls of penetration testing in live manufacturing environments, the reality of shadow IT versus shadow OT, and why EDR solutions struggle in control system environments. Dino and Craig stress the importance of treating cybersecurity as a marathon rather than a sprint, starting with basic asset inventory and microsegmentation. They call on manufacturing leaders to stop deferring to IT for OT security, attend industry-specific conferences like S4X26, and partner with systems integrators who have deep automation expertise. With threats mounting, the time for action is now—not next quarter.

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow sits down with OT security expert Dean Parsons to unpack what actually improves cybersecurity maturity in manufacturing, water, and wastewater environments. From remote access blind spots to outdated network architecture, they explore the practical gaps many organizations face - and how to fix them without massive budgets. A central theme? Tabletop exercises. Not as a compliance checkbox - but as a powerful tool to build collaboration between IT and OT teams, clarify roles, and stress-test real incident response plans before a crisis hits. You’ll learn: Why tabletop exercises accelerate OT maturity The importance of trust between engineers and IT teams How focusing on the SANS 5 Critical Controls drives meaningful progress Why visibility and architecture matter more than shiny tools How to improve OT security without overwhelming teams or budgets The human and process factors that determine response success Whether you’re leading OT security, managing critical infrastructure, or trying to bridge IT and engineering teams, this episode delivers practical, experience-backed strategies you can implement immediately. Tune in to learn how to strengthen OT security through people, process, and purposeful action - only on Protect It All.

    Systems Engineering for Survival: A Physician's Guide to Emergency Management

    Podcast: Hack the Plant (LS 35 · TOP 3% what is this?)Episode: Systems Engineering for Survival: A Physician's Guide to Emergency ManagementPub date: 2026-02-17Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationOur host Bryson Bort welcomes Dr. Natalie Sullivan, Medical Director of the Emergency Response Medical Group and an emergency medicine physician at a D.C. area hospital. Trained in EMS and disaster and operational medicine, Natalie turned her attention to the critical intersection of clinical medicine, patient safety, and cybersecurity resilience after experiencing a prolonged ransomware attack on a major hospital. Dr. Sullivan lays out the disaster preparedness cycle, and the many vectors of risks for hospitals.  How does a cyberattack on one hospital lead to increased cardiac arrest mortality at the hospital three blocks away? Why is a generation of "digital native" doctors a hidden vulnerability in an analog emergency? And what happens when a hospital's reliance on these "tightly coupled" systems—like water, power, and the Medical IoT—collapses during a ransomware event? “We are critical infrastructure, but we're deeply, deeply dependent on the surrounding critical infrastructure,” Dr. Sullivan said.  Join us for this and more on this episode of Hack the Plan[e]t.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast represent those of the speaker, and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of their employers.  Hack the Plant is brought to you by ICS Village and the Institute for Security and Technology.  The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Bryson Bort, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
