    Securing AI and Digital Transformation with Schneider Electric

    In this episode, Larry O'Brien speaks with Schneider Electric cybersecurity leaders Zakarya Drias and Nasir Mundh about the critical role of cybersecurity in enabling successful industrial digital transformation initiatives. The conversation explores Schneider Electric’s approach to helping industrial organizations assess cyber risk, develop cybersecurity roadmaps, implement governance and security controls, and operate resilient OT environments through managed security services. Cybersecurity must be designed into digital transformation programs from the beginning rather than treated as an afterthought, particularly as cloud computing, IT/OT convergence, artificial intelligence, and connected operations expand the industrial attack surface. The discussion also addresses the challenges of protecting legacy industrial assets while modernizing operations, the importance of lifecycle management and compensating controls, and how AI can augment cybersecurity capabilities while still requiring human oversight and risk management.

    Operational Predictability Starts at The Frontline

    This conversation examines how today's advanced digital technologies — edge sensors, mobile devices, guided workflows, and AI-driven analytics — are improving frontline execution in oil & gas refining and downstream operations. The industrial sector needs a worker-first approach that empowers frontline teams with intuitive, consumer-grade apps that help them perform tasks more safely and efficiently. For emission monitoring, end users are looking for technologies that can instantly pinpoint leak sources and replace manual, scheduled inspections with real‑time, anomaly-triggered notifications delivered directly to mobile devices. The discussion also covers outcomes such as: •safer work execution •faster decisions with better context •reduced unplanned downtime •stronger operational predictability  Panelists- Inderpreet Shoker, ARC Advisory Group Adrian Araiza, Citgo Krishna Uppuluri, mPACT2WO/Molex Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?

    Challenges of OT Cybersecurity with NetFoundry CEO Galeal Zino

    In this edition of DTV, ARC vice president of research Larry O'Brien talks to NetFoundry founder and CEO Galeal Zino about the challenges facing end users when it comes to OT cybersecurity in the age of AI and digitalization. NetFoundry was created to address fundamental weaknesses in traditional networking and cybersecurity. We discuss how traditional networking is not designed for today’s digital transformation requirements. Complexity created by layered security tools increases risk and reduces reliability. NetFoundry replaces IP‑centric networking with cryptographically verifiable identities and policy‑based authorization, aligning networking more closely with zero‑trust principles. NetFoundry also maintains and actively invests in OpenZiti, its open‑source secure networking platform. The goal is to create a “Linux of secure networking,” supported by a growing global community.  Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?

    Power Meets Process: Driving Industrial Electrification Through Convergence

    In this episode of the ARC Advisory Group’s Digital Transformation podcast, Craig Resnick of ARC speaks with Manishi Tiwari, Senior Director of EcoStruxure Power & Process Programs at Schneider Electric, about the accelerating convergence of electrical power management and process automation. The discussion explores the mega trends reshaping industrial operations—including process electrification, renewable energy integration, grid resilience, AI-driven demand, and digitalization—and why siloed power and process systems are no longer viable. Drawing on real-world examples, digital twin technology, and lifecycle integration from design through operations, the conversation highlights how unified architectures enable better decision-making, improved resilience, lower CapEx and OpEx, and faster progress toward sustainability and net-zero goals.   Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?
