DON’T WAIT: Engineering Outcomes Between Red Lines and Rules of Engagement
Danielle (DJ) Jablanski argues that critical-infrastructure owners must stop waiting for perfect regulation or deterrence and instead start today to map interdependencies, engineer fault-tolerant redundancy, and reduce the severity of inevitable cyber-physical impacts.
Safe Use of AI in OT Environments: Gaining the Benefits without the Risk
Christopher Walcutt argues that AI can be used safely in OT environments if organizations first establish strong cybersecurity maturity, segmentation, visibility, and strict containment controls.
Cyber-Informed Engineering
Cyber-informed engineering keeps OT systems safe by adding simple physical controls that prevent catastrophic failures even if digital systems are breached.
Keeping your Milk Cool and your Tech Safe
Security engineer and architect Brad Voris recounts designing zero-trust controls for legacy dairy-plant systems to protect millions of gallons of milk from tampering or contamination.
OT Security Starts with Understanding the Plant: Inside Mike Holcomb’s OT.SEC.CON Training
Mike Holcomb’s OT security training cuts through theory and brings IT and OT professionals together around one goal: understanding how industrial environments actually work and how to secure them before failure becomes physical.
Structuring a Unified Cybersecurity Program Across IT and OT Environments
Cybersecurity programs are most effective when they serve more than a compliance function. In public utilities and other critical infrastructure environments, the program must support operational reliability, safety, and public trust.
Bridging the IT-OT Divide: Securing the Future of Industrial Cybersecurity
HOU.SEC.CON 2024: Kevin Kumpf and Joe O’Donnell explain how bridging the IT-OT divide and modernizing security can help industry tackle workforce and cyber threats.
Cybersecurity Surges to Top of Manufacturing's Agenda in 2025
