In this episode, Dino and Craig tackle one of manufacturing's most pressing challenges: the OEM blockade. They explore why brand-new equipment often ships with hundreds of unpatched vulnerabilities, how the gap between IT and OT teams creates operational blind spots, and why manufacturers can't rely on traditional IT solutions to secure their plant floors.

From the CrowdStrike incident that took down HMIs to the "ghost in the machine" causing unexplained downtime, they reveal why OT teams must take ownership of their cybersecurity posture and build partnerships with the right ecosystem of OT-focused service providers.

If you've ever wondered why your million-dollar machine center is running Windows 7 or why your cybersecurity reports don't match reality, this episode provides the answers—and a path forward.
