Industrial Cybersecurity Insider

• Reflections from the Front Lines of Industrial Cyber Failures

  In this rewind episode, cybersecurity leaders revisit some of the hardest-hitting truths about protecting critical infrastructure in an increasingly converged IT/OT world. This conversation explores the disconnect between IT theory and OT reality, from the real-world fallout of the CrowdStrike disruption to the challenges of virtual patching, insider threats, and the cloud’s role on the plant floor. The discussion exposes how legacy systems, poor collaboration, alert fatigue, and vendor dependency continue to sabotage industrial cybersecurity. They discuss tactical strategies for improving, from asset inventory and patching hygiene to choosing the right partners and walking the plant floor.Chapters:00:00:00 - Cyber threats are moving faster than your patch cycle00:00:47 - Crowdstrike, Virtual Patching and Industrial OT Environments with Debbie Lay, TXOne Networks00:07:48 - The #1 Myth Putting Your Industrial OT Assets at Risk00:15:01 - Patch Management and Software Updates: IT versus OTLinks And Resources:Industrial Cybersecurity Insider on LinkedInCybersecurity & Digital Safety on LinkedInBW Design Group CybersecurityDino Busalachi on LinkedInCraig Duckworth on LinkedInThanks so much for joining us this week.

• What Every CISO Gets Wrong About OT Security

  In this episode, Dino and Craig tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in industrial cybersecurity: IT/OT convergence. But is it truly convergence or more of a collision? Drawing from real-world experiences, they challenge the idea that OT is a “shadow IT group” and argue that operational technology deserves distinct governance, funding, and strategic influence. From secure-by-design to system integrators' evolving role, this conversation is a call to action for CISOs, CIOs, and engineering leaders to rethink how they build cybersecurity partnerships across the plant floor.Chapters:00:00:00 - Opening Shot: Who’s Really in Charge—CIOs or the Plant Floor?00:00:57 - Collision Course: IT and OT Can’t Keep Dodging Each Other00:01:52 - Two Worlds, One Mission: Why OT Isn’t Just “IT in a Hard Hat”00:04:07 - When Convergence Fails: What’s Missing in the Middle00:05:54 - Breaking Silos: Why Cybersecurity Demands True Collaboration00:08:22 - Real Talk: What Cyber Protection Looks Like on the Plant Floor00:10:46 - OT’s Tipping Point: Will the Next Move Come from IT, or the Shop Floor?00:17:32 - Your Move: What Leaders Must Do Next (Before It’s Too Late)Links And Resources:Industrial Cybersecurity Insider on LinkedInCybersecurity & Digital Safety on LinkedInBW Design Group CybersecurityDino Busalachi on LinkedInCraig Duckworth on LinkedInThanks so much for joining us this week.

• Bridging the IT-OT Divide with AI-Powered Insight

  Dino and Craig tackle one of the most misunderstood challenges in cybersecurity for industrial environments. The persistent disconnect between IT-led cybersecurity tools and operational technology realities.They explore the concept of "shadow OT," as well as the limits of traditional IDS deployments.They discuss why visibility is key to protecting critical systems. Vulnerability scanning alone isn't enough.Real world case studies reveal how failing to engage OT teams derails cybersecurity strategies. One case involved rogue servers causing daily production failures. Another featured misconfigured modules choking brewery operations. These examples show that even the most advanced strategies fail without OT team involvement.For leaders in manufacturing, utilities, and critical infrastructure, this is a must-listen conversation. It's about redefining risk management through OT-first thinking.Chapters:00:00:00 - When Machines Stop, Money Bleeds: The Downtime Dilemma00:00:47 - Shadow IT or Ingenious OT?
