In this episode, Craig and Dino tackle IT/OT convergence, operational technology security, and manufacturing cybersecurity challenges head-on.

They challenge the notion of OT being a "shadow IT group" and explore the fundamental differences between IT and OT operations in industrial environments.

The discussion emphasizes that OT focuses on safety and physical outcomes, while IT prioritizes data security.

They stress the importance of collaboration between IT and OT teams, highlighting how system integrators, OEMs, and plant operators must work together to improve cybersecurity posture.

The conversation covers practical issues like Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), incident response, and the need for proper funding and governance.

Both advocate for CISOs and CIOs to actively engage with OT teams and system integrators, visit manufacturing facilities, and understand the unique challenges of industrial control systems to achieve true convergence and protect manufacturing plants and critical infrastructure.

Chapters:
