Podcast: Hack the Plant (LS 35 · TOP 3% what is this?)Episode: Bridging the IT/OT Divide in Oil & GasPub date: 2026-01-20Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationBryson Bort is joined by Dd Budiharto, Microsoft’s Customer Security Officer for the Oil, Gas, and Energy sectors, to share her experience bridging the IT/OT divide in the energy sector. Drawing on her background as a former CISO and industry veteran with decades of experience starting security programs at giants like Halliburton and Marathon Oil, Dd breaks down IT vs OT auditing, the cultural divide in oil and gas, and what cybersecurity looks like in the energy sector.   How did an early mistake involving a patch reboot change Dd's career forever? What is preventing private companies and the FBI from working together? Why is basic hygiene—like disabling terminated accounts—still the biggest "unsolved" problem in billion-dollar industries? “If you want to upgrade your home, to modernize it, the foundation still needs to be fixed first,” Dd said. Join us for this and more on this episode of Hack the Plan[e]t. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast represent those of the speaker, and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of their employers. Hack the Plant is brought to you by ICS Village and the Institute for Security and Technology.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Bryson Bort, 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: Securing Remote Access in OT: Visibility, Segmentation, and What Compliance MissesPub date: 2026-01-19Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationRemote access is no longer optional in OT - but unmanaged connectivity is one of the fastest ways to lose control of critical systems. In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow breaks down the real challenges of securing connectivity across IT and OT environments. As vendors, technicians, and support teams increasingly rely on remote access, many organizations struggle with poor visibility, legacy systems, and unclear network boundaries - creating unnecessary risk. Aaron walks through newly released secure connectivity guidance from CISA and the UK National Cyber Security Centre, translating an eight-point framework into practical, real-world steps that security and operations teams can actually implement. You’ll learn: Why remote access is one of the biggest OT risk multipliers How poor visibility creates blind spots attackers love Why asset inventory and documentation are foundational - not optional How segmentation and least-privilege design shrink the attack surface What compliance frameworks get right - and what they don’t Best practices for vendor access, MFA, session recording, and monitoring How to design secure connectivity without breaking operations Whether you’re responsible for OT security, managing vendors, or bridging IT and OT teams, this episode delivers actionable guidance to help you regain control of connectivity and protect critical infrastructure. Tune in to learn how to secure access without sacrificing operations - only on Protect It All.

Podcast: (CS)²AI Podcast Show: Control System Cyber SecurityEpisode: 130: S4’s “Connect” Theme Explained — Dale Peterson on OT Security’s Hyper-Connected FuturePub date: 2026-01-14Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode of the (CS)²AI Podcast, host Derek Harp is joined once again by Dale Peterson, Founder of the S4 Conference and one of the longest-standing voices in OT cybersecurity. As Dale marks 25 years in the industry, the conversation takes a forward-looking turn toward what he believes is the next major inflection point for industrial security: connectivity driven by AI, data, and business systems.Dale explains why the 2026 S4 Conference theme, Connect, is not just about networking people, but about the explosive growth of connections between OT systems, enterprise platforms, and analytics driven by AI. From MES, ERP, and PLCs to asset inventories and security telemetry, these connections are accelerating faster than most security teams are prepared for—often driven by business value rather than security design.Listeners will hear why manufacturing is emerging as the epicenter of this transformation, how AI is enabling real-time querying across operational systems, and why OT security teams must prepare for a future where their tools become just another data source in larger operational workflows. Dale also shares how this shift will reshape risk, attack surfaces, and even the role of humans in control and response.The episode also provides an inside look at S4 2026, including this year’s Proof-of-Concept Pavilion, where vendors will be forced to demonstrate their technologies live on a real manufacturing environment, as well as updates on attendance, ticket availability, and why this will be the final year S4 is held in Miami Beach before moving back to Tampa.This is a must-listen for OT security professionals, automation leaders, and anyone trying to understand how AI-driven connectivity will redefine both risk and opportunity across industrial environments in the years ahead.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Derek Harp, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
