Cyber Risk In Operational Technology (OT)

In this podcast episode, cybersecurity experts Brandon Daniels and Cassie Crossley dive deep into the critical world of Operational Technology (OT), revealing the hidden vulnerabilities that could potentially disrupt our most critical infrastructure. Fresh from the World Economic Forum’s Davos meeting, they expose how the rapid expansion of IoT and AI in manufacturing creates an alarming new attack surface, where cyber threats can seamlessly transition from digital to physical domains, potentially compromising everything from water treatment plants to manufacturing robots.

The conversation takes listeners on a journey through the complex landscape of OT security, highlighting geopolitical tensions, the challenges of long-lived industrial systems, and the emerging risks posed by advanced technologies. With real-world examples of infrastructure attacks and insights into how nation-state actors are targeting critical systems, this podcast is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the intersection of technology, security, and global stability.

Daniels and Crossley don’t just identify problems —they offer crucial perspectives on how organizations can better understand, monitor, and protect their operational technologies in an increasingly interconnected world.
