As all of you know, there are no silver bullets when it comes to cybersecurity success in the industrial sector. Every enterprise has its own unique characteristics, each plant floor its different connectivity elements, and each business is comprised of diverse human dynamics that fuel its culture.
However, regardless of the environment, there continues to be a handful of best practices that can be universally applied. As I journey across the cybersecurity realm, one of these reoccurring themes is avoiding that urge to “eat the elephant” or “drink the ocean” when implementing cybersecurity strategies.
Rather, the thought process is to set priorities and check things off as you go. Our guest for this episode mentioned this numerous times, whether it comes to responding to an increasingly complex collection of threat actors, or tackling the right uses of artificial intelligence.
Watch/listen as we discuss a number of topics with Casey Ellis, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of BugCrowd, including:
- The very real threat of IABs (initial access brokers) and state-sponsored hackers.
- How his organization works to reinforce why it's cool to be a White Hat.
- How thinking like a criminal helps improve defenses through penetration testing and other exercises.
- Developing strategies that prioritize resilience over perfection.
- Integrating new technologies with patching in mind.
- Using AI to develop faster response times and focusing on "which part of the elephant to eat first," instead of doing "stupid stuff" because of the pressure to implement it.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
