In this episode, Dino and Craig tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in industrial cybersecurity: IT/OT convergence.
But is it truly convergence or more of a collision?
Drawing from real-world experiences, they challenge the idea that OT is a “shadow IT group” and argue that operational technology deserves distinct governance, funding, and strategic influence.
From secure-by-design to system integrators' evolving role, this conversation is a call to action for CISOs, CIOs, and engineering leaders to rethink how they build cybersecurity partnerships across the plant floor.
