Security Breach: Looking Back to Move Forward

As we begin to close out 2024 and look ahead to 2025, some favorite guests are revisited.

As we begin to close out 2024 and look ahead to 2025, I couldn’t resist the urge to revisit some of my favorite guests from the last couple of months.

While I’m grateful for everyone we’ve had on the show, and all the support we continue to receive from the industrial cybersecurity community, I felt these comments were worth another listen, with special focus being given to a handful of the most critical issues confronting our OT environments. 

First, we hear from Jon Taylor (1:16) at Versa, as he discusses a unique approach to patching and secure-by-design strategies that involve the development embedded micro-segmentation approaches. 

Next, we’ll hear from Cloud Range’s Tom Marsland (11:18)  as he discusses the continued challenges presented by data silos, and innovative ways to address the shortage of cybersecurity specialists. 

Then we’ll turn to Baker Tilly’s Jeff Krull ( 19:42) as he reports on ransomware gangs and their combination of new and old tactics. 

And we’ll finish up with cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler (29:40) as he discusses some of the ongoing challenges about addressing persistent vulnerabilities.
