How to get started in industrial control systems cybersecurity | Guest Robin Berthier
Today on Cyber Work, we are talking operational technology, or OT, security with guest, Robin Berthier of Network Perception. From his earliest studies to his time as an academic researcher, Berthier has dedicated his career to securing the intersection between operational technology and network security, with some pretty imaginative solutions to show for it. In today’s episode, Berthier explains why modern OT security means thinking more about the mechanics of the machinery than the swiftness of the software solutions, the big conversation that infrastructure and ICS Security need to have about nation-state attackers (and finally are having!) and Berthier's best piece of career advice turns into some excellent thoughts on the importance of maintaining your network… and I don’t mean routing and switching!

Working in manufacturing security: Top challenges and career advice | Guest Theresa Lanowitz
AT&T Cybersecurity’s head of evangelism, Theresa Lanowitz, is today's guest. Lanowitz has amazing and wide-ranging career achievements, from her time with analyst firms Gartner and Voke, work on Java’s JBuilder environment and strategic marketing for the Jini Project, which was proto-IoT going back to the late ‘90s! With all of these incredible stories, we talked far and wide about manufacturing security concerns, she breaks down the key pain points around edge computing and talks extensively about her love of both the English language and programming languages of all sorts. They all have grammar, they all have style, and if you’re a linguist or a lover of learning new languages, perhaps computer languages are an opportunity you hadn’t pursued? All that and a ton more – seriously, I could have talked to Lanowitz for hours – on today’s episode of Cyber Work.
