In this episode, Dino Busalachi and Craig Duckworth tackle a critical disconnect plaguing industrial organizations: the disconnect in understanding and communication between IT and OT regarding industrial cybersecurity. While some IT departments are investing in OT cybersecurity platforms, 85% of the data these tools collect is designed for OT teams to act upon. Unfortunately, plant floor personnel, system integrators, and OEMs working in these environments rarely get access to dashboards, asset inventories, or vulnerability reports. Organizations must move beyond the "oil and water" mentality between IT and OT. This means involving plant personnel in cybersecurity decisions, sharing data with trusted partners who "build the cars" (not just buy them), and recognizing that effective OT security requires collaboration with the people who live and breathe on the plant floor every day. Bottom Line: If you're not sharing cybersecurity data with your system integrators, OEMs, and plant operations teams, you're not practicing true IT-OT convergence. You're missing critical opportunities to improve your security posture where it matters most.

In this episode, Craig Duckworth and Dino Busalachi discuss the critical but often overlooked or misunderstood role of system integrators (SIs) in industrial cybersecurity. Key Issues Identified: Organizations typically work with multiple specialized integrators across different facilities and systems Some SIs lack cybersecurity expertise, focusing primarily on equipment functionality Equipment can remain connected to networks for decades, with ownership and oversight changing hands over time System integrators must exercise proper IT coordination to implement remote access solutions effectively Recommendations: IT and OT teams should collaborate more closely with system integrators on cybersecurity planning Organizations need to evaluate their SIs' cybersecurity capabilities and partnerships Consider standardizing on integrators with demonstrated cybersecurity practices and vendor certifications Apply the same due diligence used for IT vendor selection to OT system integrators Bottom Line: System integrators are essential partners in executing industrial cybersecurity strategies and protection. Organizations must actively engage them in security conversations and ensure they have the necessary skills and partnerships to implement secure solutions for their plant environments from the start.

What happens when the CISO inherits responsibility for the security of the plant floor? Dino and Craig discuss a growing trend: CISOs are being expected to oversee cybersecurity for industrial plant floors. Unfortunately, they don't have the background to effectively take on this responsibility. A perpetuating trend exists where cybersecurity leaders are expected to protect factories and industrial assets without the authority, tools, or support to do so effectively. In this conversation, Dino and Craig explain why traditional IT security approaches don’t work in these environments, and how things like outdated equipment, disconnected systems, and outside vendors make the challenge even harder. From weak remote access tools to the confusion around who actually manages plant security, this episode shines a light on the hidden risks most companies overlook. Whether you're in IT, operations, or a leadership role, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of how to approach cybersecurity in complex industrial settings. You'll also gain insights into the steps you can take to protect your people, your technology, and your bottom line.

In this episode, Dino and Craig tackle one of the most overlooked vulnerabilities in industrial cybersecurity: the unintentional chaos caused when IT security procedures are blindly applied to OT environments. Using real-world examples like the CrowdStrike EDR failure, they illustrate how tools meant to protect can actually shut down production lines, cripple HMIs, and introduce massive operational risk. They call out the air-gap myth, the need for shared authority between IT and OT, and the critical importance of context when deploying cybersecurity solutions on the plant floor. For executives and practitioners alike, this episode is a wake-up call to rethink governance, accountability, and collaboration between traditionally siloed IT and OT teams.
