How CISOs Are Bridging the Gap between OT and IT Cybersecurity

Industrial Cybersecurity Insider

In this rewind episode, we explore the critical role CISOs play in bridging the gap between operational technology (OT) and enterprise cybersecurity.

With manufacturing and critical infrastructure facing increasing cyber threats, CISOs must navigate both the boardroom and the plant floor to secure complex environments without disrupting production.

This discussion focuses on the importance of risk assessment, real-time monitoring, and the adoption of specialized cybersecurity tools.

The episode highlights the need for cross-functional collaboration, leveraging external expertise, and shifting toward proactive, secure-by-design approaches.

It also addresses the vulnerabilities in supply chains, the limitations of relying on cybersecurity insurance, and the necessity of actionable, strategic measures to protect industrial environments.
