Jeff Williams, CTO and founder at Contrast Security, says that 62% of open source libraries included in software are never even loaded into memory, let alone executed. This means only 38% of libraries are typically active and worth prioritizing. The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Robert Vamosi, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

Podcast: Bites & Bytes PodcastEpisode: Hiring for the Frontlines of Critical Infrastructure with Nathaniel SmithPub date: 2025-07-08Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationWhat does it take to build a cybersecurity workforce capable of protecting the systems that keep the lights on and food on our plates? In this episode, host Kristin Demoranville is joined by Nathaniel Smith, Co-Founder and VP at SR2, a purpose-driven recruitment firm. Nathaniel, who specializes in hiring OT/ICS, brings over 14 years of recruiting experience and a refreshing dose of honesty to the challenges of hiring in critical infrastructure. Together, they explore what makes a strong Operational Technology (OT) candidate, why culture fit matters as much as technical skills, and how broken hiring processes often keep the best people out. For sectors like food and agriculture, where operational technology is directly tied to safety, production, and public trust, getting the right people into the right roles isn’t just important. It’s essential. --------------- Show Notes: Mike Holcomb’s Episode (here) SEC Ruling on Disclosure of Cyber Incidents (here) 📘 Sign up for early updates, exclusive previews, and launch news of Kristin’s book, “Securing What Feeds Us” (working title) here. 📖 Kristin will also be sharing updates, behind-the-scenes chaos, and the occasional existential crisis over on her personal Substack 🎤 Book Kristin Demoranville to speak at your conference, corporate event, or workshop. --------------- Episode Key Highlights 00:04:50 – OT as Public Service 00:08:27 – Recruiter Perspective in OT 00:09:42 – What Makes a Good OT Hire 00:12:04 – Trust and Floor Experience 00:13:59 – OT vs. IT Culture 00:18:09 – The Talent Shortage Myth 00:20:18 – Broken Hiring Systems 00:22:50 – Job Descriptions That Miss the Mark 00:27:00 – Current OT Hiring Trends 00:29:30 – Who’s Hiring in OT 00:32:00 – Community in OT 00:33:00 – Why Specialized Recruiting Matters --------------- 🎤 Bites and Bytes Podcast Info: Website: Explore all our episodes, articles, and more on our official Website.   Merch Shop: Show your support with some awesome Bites and Bytes gear!

Podcast: Industrial Cybersecurity InsiderEpisode: Breaking Down the IT-OT Wall: Why IT Cybersecurity Tools Fail on the Plant FloorPub date: 2025-07-08Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode, Dino Busalachi and Craig Duckworth tackle a critical disconnect plaguing industrial organizations: the disconnect in understanding and communication between IT and OT regarding industrial cybersecurity. While some IT departments are investing in OT cybersecurity platforms, 85% of the data these tools collect is designed for OT teams to act upon. Unfortunately, plant floor personnel, system integrators, and OEMs working in these environments rarely get access to dashboards, asset inventories, or vulnerability reports.Organizations must move beyond the "oil and water" mentality between IT and OT. This means involving plant personnel in cybersecurity decisions, sharing data with trusted partners who "build the cars" (not just buy them), and recognizing that effective OT security requires collaboration with the people who live and breathe on the plant floor every day.Bottom Line: If you're not sharing cybersecurity data with your system integrators, OEMs, and plant operations teams, you're not practicing true IT-OT convergence. You're missing critical opportunities to improve your security posture where it matters most.Chapters:00:00:00 - Why Local Collaboration is Critical for Cybersecurity Success00:01:07 - Meet Dino and Craig: Experts in IT/OT Integration00:01:49 - Unpacking the Challenges of IT/OT Convergence00:02:28 - Why IT and OT Teams Often Struggle to Align00:04:48 - Building Collaborative Frameworks for Stronger Cybersecurity00:07:33 - The Role of CIOs and CISOs in Driving Change00:08:44 - Navigating the Complexities of Diverse Plant Environments00:10:23 - Partnering with Vendors to Enhance Security Outcomes00:11:16 - Key Questions to Evaluate System Integrators Effectively00:16:35 - Using Tabletop Exercises to Align IT and OT Teams00:22:20 - Closing Thoughts: Bridging the Divide for Unified CybersecurityLinks And Resources:Want to Sponsor an episode or be a Guest?

ATGs track fuel levels, and are meant to detect leaks, help with inventory management, and are key in regulatory compliance efforts.The vulnerabilities uncovered by Pedro and his team expose these systems to catastrophic risks, from environmental hazards to significant economic losses, including physical damage.Worse yet is that these systems are old and challenging to update. Read Bitsight's research here.Listen to the Nexus Podcast on your favorite podcast platform. The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Claroty, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
