He discusses the evolution of response teams as well as the regulations in the industrial control systems and operational technology. Brian also dives deep into open-source, how they are making things secure, and mitigating risks from the human element. Looking ahead, he then tells us what the industry needs to get better and improve at, especially as we look at the merge of people, process, and technology.
