Getting down with Cyber Security @ OT.SEC.CON Part 2

OT.Sec.Con Part 2: On the Front Lines of Cyber Defense What started as curiosity is quickly turning into a real understanding of just how serious cybersecurity is for critical infrastructure. In Part 2, we continue the conversation from OT.Sec.Con with separate interviews featuring conference organizer Mary DiForie and cybersecurity instructor Kevin Kumpf, each bringing their own perspective on the evolving world of Cyber Security, conferences, and why education is important! We also hear from Mike Hoffman of Dragos on protecting industrial systems, Vivek Ponnada of Frenos on using AI analysis on growing infastructure, and James Gower of Entergy on what it takes to secure the grid from the operator side. This is where strategy meets reality, and where cybersecurity becomes mission-critical. https://www.otseccon.com/ https://www.dragos.com/ https://frenos.io/company https://www.entergy.com/ Brought to you on OGGN [https://oggn.com/], the largest and most listened-to podcast network for the oil and energy industry.

Getting down with Cyber Security @ OT.SEC.CON Part 1 | Ep 66

OT.Sec.Con Part 1: Why Cybersecurity Is Keeping Energy Leaders Up at Night I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect cybersecurity to be this fascinating… or this intense. Live from OT.Sec.Con, we’re diving into the world of operational technology (OT) security and getting a firsthand look at why protecting critical infrastructure has become one of the most important, and nerve-wracking challenges in energy and industry today. From real-world threats to the people actively defending against them, this episode pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening behind the scenes. We sit down with cybersecurity influencer and instructor Mike Holcomb, conference organizers Sam Van Ryder and Michael Farnum, as well as InfraGard Sector Chief and ABS Consulting’s Marc Ayala, and Kate O’Brien from Garland Technology. It’s a little scary, but it’s incredibly important work. If you want to understand what’s really at stake in securing the systems that power our world, this is the episode for you. https://www.mikeholcomb.com/ https://www.otseccon.com/ https://www.dragos.com/ https://www.abs-group.com/ https://www.garlandtechnology.com/ Brought to you on OGGN [https://oggn.com/], the largest and most listened-to podcast network for the oil and energy industry.
