The Hidden Cost of Siloed OT Security Tools

Podcast: Industrial Cybersecurity InsiderEpisode: The Hidden Cost of Siloed OT Security ToolsPub date: 2026-03-11Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationAs we lookback, Craig and Dino tackle a critical disconnect in industrial cybersecurity: the failure to share OT security tool data with the people who actually need it.They explore why IT teams often purchase and deploy OT IDS platforms without engaging plant floor teams, system integrators, and OEMs who are actively working in manufacturing environments.The conversation reveals that 85% of data collected by these tools is meant for OT teams to act on, yet it rarely reaches them.They discuss the consequences of this siloed approach—including system integrators bringing their own tools to fill the gap—and provide practical advice on achieving true IT/OT convergence.The episode emphasizes the importance of working with partners who can "build the car" rather than just "sell the car," and challenges organizations to evaluate whether they're truly practicing IT/OT convergence or just paying lip service to it.Chapters:(00:00:00) - The Data Sharing Problem in OT Cybersecurity(00:01:00) - Why System Integrators Can't Access Security Tool Data(00:04:00) - Who's Keeping the Data and Why(00:08:00) - The IT/OT Oil and Water Problem(00:11:00) - When System Integrators Bring Their Own Tools(00:14:00) - Questions to Ask Your Cybersecurity Partners(00:17:00) - The Car Analogy: Buyers vs. Builders(00:19:00) - Who Asset Owners Really Trust(00:21:00) - The Three-Legged Stool of OT Security(00:23:00) - The Path to True IT/OT ConvergenceLinks And Resources:Want to Sponsor an episode or be a Guest?

Podcast: Exploited: The Cyber Truth Episode: AI Wrote the Code—Who Owns the Risk?Pub date: 2026-03-12Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security Founder and CEO Joseph M. Saunders and embedded systems expert Jacob Beningo to explore how AI is changing the software development lifecycle for embedded and firmware teams. Together, they unpack the risks and responsibilities that come with AI-generated code. While AI can accelerate development and automate tedious tasks, it can also introduce defects, expand the attack surface, and create a dangerous illusion of completeness. Unlike human engineers, AI cannot explain intent, reason about long-term system behavior, or take accountability when systems fail. Joe and Jacob discuss how engineering teams can safely integrate AI into development workflows without sacrificing security, reliability, or accountability, especially in systems that must operate safely for years in the field. In this episode, they explore: Why AI-generated code can introduce hidden vulnerabilities and complexityThe accountability challenge: who owns the risk when AI writes the code?How AI output should be treated as untrusted code by defaultWhy rigorous testing, validation, and security reviews still matterPractical ways engineering teams can use AI responsibly in embedded development For engineers, security leaders, and product teams navigating AI adoption in embedded systems, this episode offers practical insights into how to move faster with AI without weakening trust in the systems you build.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: PrOTect It All (LS 27 · TOP 10% what is this?)Episode: Poland’s Power Grid Cyberattack What It Teaches Us About OT Security and Renewable Energy RisksPub date: 2026-03-09Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationWhat happens when attackers target the systems that keep the lights on? In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow breaks down the December 2025 cyberattack on Poland’s energy infrastructure, where coordinated attackers disrupted wind farms, solar installations, and heat and power plants - impacting nearly half a million people. This real-world incident highlights the growing risks facing distributed energy resources (DER) and modern power grids. As energy systems become more connected and decentralized, the attack surface expands - often faster than security programs can adapt. Aaron walks through what actually went wrong: default passwords, unpatched devices, and weak network segmentation that allowed attackers to brick OT equipment and blind operators to what was happening in their own systems. You’ll learn: How attackers targeted renewable energy infrastructure at scale Why edge devices and distributed assets create new vulnerabilities The importance of eliminating default credentials and poor configurations Why network segmentation and secure remote access are essential What grid operators and OT teams must prioritize immediately How lessons from Poland apply to power grids worldwide For engineers, operators, and cybersecurity leaders responsible for critical infrastructure, this episode delivers practical insights on defending modern energy systems before attackers strike again. Tune in to understand what Poland’s grid attack reveals about the future of OT security - only on Protect It All.

Podcast: Industrial Cybersecurity InsiderEpisode: The Blind Spots Putting Manufacturers at Risk: WEF 2026 Global Cybersecurity OutlookPub date: 2026-03-03Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationLuRae Lumpkin, Producer of Industrial Cybersecurity Insider, sits down with industrial cybersecurity expert Dino Busalachi to break down the 2026 World Economic Forum Global Cybersecurity Outlook Report and what it really means for manufacturers. While the report surveyed nearly a thousand CEOs, CIOs, and CISOs, Dino reveals a critical blind spot: industrial control systems and OT environments are being left dangerously exposed. They discuss how AI is becoming a double-edged sword for attackers and defenders, why supply chain vulnerabilities remain unaddressed, the shocking lack of cybersecurity skills on plant floors, and why most companies still aren't conducting incident response exercises. Dino shares real-world insights from working in nearly 2,000 plants over four decades, explaining why IT and OT remain disconnected, how remote access creates massive security gaps, and why outdated equipment with decades-old vulnerabilities sits unpatched in critical manufacturing environments. The conversation reveals that while enterprises focus on IT security, the plant floor—where revenue is actually generated—remains critically vulnerable, with potentially catastrophic consequences for businesses, supply chains, and even national GDP.
