The Challenges of Managing Security in an IT/OT Environment - John Germain - CSP #171

CISO Stories Podcast (Audio)

For manufacturing companies, technology has taken over a good deal of the day-to-day operations occurring on the manufacturing floor.

This technology often works outside of or flies under the radar of traditional IT processes. For critical infrastructure, we are hooking up legacy systems to larger networks. Industrial control systems, that were never designed to be attached to the Internet, are now exposed to a wide array of new threats and attacks.
