Those not directly involved in the industry have likely heard that 'it is different" and that it enables exponentially greater processing power than contemporary computing When this topic arises in the context of cybersecurity, it always leads to the same point: existing encryption will be cracked in an instant. It will no longer serve as a barrier against attackers. But is that really the case? Nachshon Pincu hosts the founders of QuantyMize - Chief Scientist Prof. Emanuele Dalla Torre from Bar-Ilan University and CEO Daniel Porat—for a conversation on what quantum computing is, what it's suitable for, where contemporary applications are already deployed, cybersecurity in a quantum world, and moreThe podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Nachshon Pincu, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

Podcast: Industrial Cybersecurity InsiderEpisode: The CISO's Impossible Task: Protecting Plant Floors They've Never SeenPub date: 2026-01-06Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationCraig and Dino tackle one of the most pressing challenges in industrial cybersecurity: the disconnect between IT security teams and operational technology environments.They explore why traditional CISOs struggle to protect manufacturing plants despite their best intentions, revealing that most security executives get 30 minutes or less per quarter to present cyber risks to their boards—leaving little time to address the complexities of OT environments they barely understand.The conversation digs into the fundamental differences between enterprise IT and plant floor operations, where safety and uptime trump traditional security approaches, and where telling an engineer to remove a Windows 7 machine from the network might mean shutting down millions of dollars in production.Craig and Dino make a compelling case for why external expertise, cross-functional collaboration, and a fundamental shift in how organizations approach industrial cybersecurity are not just recommended—they're essential for survival in an evolving threat landscape where adversaries only need to get lucky once.Chapters:(00:00:00) - The IT Security Mindset vs. OT Reality(00:01:00) - Has the CISO Really Engaged with Industrial Cybersecurity?(00:03:00) - The Disconnect: IT Owns the Network, OT Owns the Assets(00:05:00) - What CISOs Don't Know About the Plant Floor(00:07:00) - Safety and Uptime: The Top Two Priorities CISOs Must Understand(00:10:00) - The Asset Visibility Problem: Do You Really Know What's Out There?(00:13:00) - 30 Minutes or Less Per Quarter: The CISO's Impossible Task(00:16:00) - Why External Expertise Isn't Optional Anymore(00:19:00) - The Cyber Insurance Myth: Why Your Policy Won't Save You(00:22:00) - Secure by Demand: Holding Vendors Accountable(00:25:00) - Getting to the "Know": Where to Start and What to AskLinks And Resources:Want to Sponsor an episode or be a Guest?

Podcast: Industrial Cybersecurity InsiderEpisode: IT and OT Are Still Siloed - Here's Why That's DangerousPub date: 2025-12-30Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this rewind episode, Craig and Dino tackle a critical disconnect in industrial cybersecurity: the gap between IT teams deploying OT security tools and the plant floor teams who desperately need the data these tools collect.They reveal why 85% of data from industrial cybersecurity platforms is meant for OT personnel, yet rarely reaches them.The conversation exposes how organizations invest heavily in tools like IDS platforms but fail to share vulnerability data, asset inventories, and network intelligence with the system integrators, OEMs, and plant teams actually working on their control systems.Craig and Dino discuss the consequences of this siloed approach—from incomplete asset visibility to duplicated tooling—and offer practical guidance on achieving true IT-OT convergence.They emphasize that organizations must work with partners who can "build the car, not just buy it," and stress the importance of tabletop exercises, proper vendor vetting, and collaborative frameworks that include the entire industrial ecosystem in cybersecurity planning and execution.Chapters:(00:00:00) - The Growing Problem: OT Teams Lack Access to Critical Security Data(00:01:47) - IT-OT Convergence in Practice: Are We Really Doing It?(00:04:42) - Why IT Teams Keep Security Data Siloed from Plant Floor Partners(00:06:38) - The Consequence: System Integrators Bring Their Own Tools(00:08:38) - The Disconnect Between IT Security Tools and OT Reality(00:11:48) - How to Bridge the Gap: Questions System Integrators Should Ask(00:15:42) - Vetting Your Security Partners: Can They Build the Car or Just Buy It?(00:17:46) - The Three-Legged Stool: Why IT-Only Security Fails in Manufacturing(00:20:48) - Action Steps: Creating a Comprehensive List of Your Industrial Ecosystem(00:22:48) - Final Thoughts: Moving Beyond Security Theater to True CollaborationLinks And Resources:Want to Sponsor an episode or be a Guest?

Podcast: Exploited: The Cyber Truth Episode: 2026 ICS Security Predictions: What’s Next for Critical InfrastructurePub date: 2025-12-30Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationAs industrial control systems become more connected, more Linux-based, and more exposed to IT-style threats, 2026 is shaping up to be a turning point for ICS security. In this end-of-year predictions episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security Founder & CEO Joseph M. Saunders and CTO Shane Fry to discuss what will define ICS and critical infrastructure security in 2026. The episode explores a bold prediction: We will see a major ICS breach originating from a web application vulnerability running directly on an embedded control device. As full Linux operating systems, Node.js apps, and web servers increasingly appear inside OT equipment, long-standing IT vulnerabilities are colliding with systems that are difficult—or impossible—to patch. Joe and Shane dig into why detection-only strategies fall short in constrained, long-lived devices, and why secure by design engineering, memory safety, and runtime protections are becoming essential. They also discuss the importance of accurate, build-time Software Bills of Materials, especially as regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act push manufacturers toward transparency, accountability, and provable supply-chain visibility. Together, they cover: Why ICS exploitation is shifting from theoretical to operationalHow web app and RCE vulnerabilities are creeping into OT devicesThe limits of detection-only security strategiesWhy memory safety and runtime protections reduce exploitable riskHow build-time SBOMs improve vulnerability tracking and trustThe 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.
