The CISA and Federal Agency Zero Trust Briefing Most OT Leaders Haven't Read Yet

Five federal agencies published a joint zero-trust briefing for OT environments on April 29. Most industrial OT leaders haven't read it. In this episode, Craig and Dino discuss what's in that briefing, why IT teams can't see two-thirds of your plant floor, what actually happened during the CrowdStrike incident, and what zero trust looks like inside a real twenty-year-old plant. Plus, the system integrator gap no one talks about openly. Industrial Cybersecurity Insider is the podcast for CISOs, plant managers, engineers, and operations leaders navigating the intersection of IT and OT security.
