This technology—smart speakers that help manage medications or cameras that monitor vulnerable individuals—often handles patient data and safety, and operates in a regulatory void. Wilson advocates for frameworks that manufacturers and distributors can use to protect patient information and safety, given that most of this assistive technology functions as healthcare infrastructure without existing oversight and protection given healthcare technology. Subscribe and listen to the Nexus Podcast here. 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.

Podcast: Exploited: The Cyber Truth Episode: The Invisible Attack Surface: Cybersecurity for Embedded SystemsPub date: 2026-04-16Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationEmbedded systems power everything from critical infrastructure to defense systems, yet vulnerabilities in those systems often go unseen and unaddressed. In this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security CEO Joe Saunders and special guests Mario Zuniga and Matt Janson of MITRE to discuss the “invisible attack surface” lurking within embedded and cyber-physical systems. Drawing on their frontline experience in cyber operations and resiliency engineering, Mario and Matt explain why embedded systems demand a fundamentally different approach to cybersecurity. From limited patching capabilities and long system lifecycles to unique hardware and firmware attack vectors, traditional IT security models fall short in these environments. Together, they discuss: Why embedded systems are often overlooked in cybersecurity strategiesHow attackers exploit firmware, hardware interfaces, and air-gapped environmentsThe challenges of securing systems that must remain operational for decadesThe role of MITRE’s embedded threat matrix (ESTEEM) in mapping adversary behaviorWhy resilience—not just prevention—is key to defending critical infrastructure From industrial control systems to national defense, this episode reveals what it takes to secure the technologies that quietly underpin modern society and why the time to act is now.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from RunSafe Security, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

Podcast: Industrial Cybersecurity InsiderEpisode: OT Patching vs IT Patching: What's Commonly MisunderstoodPub date: 2026-04-14Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationMost cybersecurity teams treat patching like a universal fix. In manufacturing, that assumption can take down a production line, trigger a safety event, or void the warranty on a $2 million piece of equipment.In this episode, Dino Busalachi and Craig Duckworth break down why patching in operational technology environments is a fundamentally different problem than patching enterprise IT — and why closing that gap requires more than just pushing an update.The bottom line: A firewall is not a patching strategy. Neither is hoping your systems are isolated. Organizations that get this right use risk-based prioritization, lab testing, virtual patching, and real collaboration between IT and OT teams.If you are responsible for a plant floor — or for the people who are — this conversation is for you.🎙️ Industrial Cybersecurity Insider is where C-suite leaders, plant managers, engineers, and security teams come to close the gap between IT and OT.🔔 Subscribe so you never miss an episode.Chapters:(00:00:00) Why assessing OT cybersecurity posture and asset visibility is hard(00:01:00) IT patches constantly, OT rarely does, and why that gap matters(00:03:00) Downtime costs: a broken patch in OT can stop the entire plant(00:05:00) OEM “don’t touch it” policies and warranty pressure(00:08:00) M&A due diligence: buying plants without knowing the cyber condition(00:09:00) CrowdStrike outage example and why agent-based tools are risky in OT(00:10:00) Virtual patching: protecting PLCs and legacy assets you cannot patch(00:14:00) Vendor guidance, upgrade rewrites, and “acceptable risk” decisions(00:17:00) Hidden exposure: guest Wi‑Fi, tablets, remote access, and “air gaps”(00:20:00) Best practices: inventory, continuous monitoring, vulnerability metrics, and cross-team alignmentLinks And Resources:Want to Sponsor an episode or be a Guest?
