Most of you probably at least glanced at it. And many of you were excited and eager to share your Spotify Wrapped details with your friends and followers. After all, isn't that the whole point? To show off your musical taste, connect with others who share it and provide free marketing for a streaming behemoth? Spotify's Wrapped is the biggest and most popular of algorithmically created personal year-end lists, but it isn't alone. Why do these things always suck us in? How has Spotify managed to convince us to pay them, instead of the artists we love directly? And if Spotify is getting all our money, why isn't it turning much of a profit?GUEST: Kelsey McKinney, reporter and writer at Defector, host of Normal Gossip

When tech industry veteran Dave Bang discovers that vendors have been using their phones to gain access to secure networks, he embarks on an urgent mission to secure the OT networks and prevent an attack before it's too late.In this episode, you will learn about leveraging the strengths of OT and IT security to build a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy."My experience has been they're not as quick to that as the OT folks are. The OT folks are starting to see there are big benefits to learning some of the IT stuff, right? There's efficiencies to be gained, there's automation to be used, things like that."Brian Contos and John Vecchi recently sat down and spoke with Dave Bang, an IT industry veteran with 30 years of experience in desktop support, OS life cycles, security, application security, architecture, and OT security. He focuses on security awareness and leveraging his expertise to bridge the IT and OT security gap.After working in IT for almost 30 years, Dave Bang had a newfound passion for OT security. He started partnering with manufacturing folks to bring their security game up to snuff. He realized the threats were the same, but the motivations were different. He soon uncovered that companies were not ready for the cross-pollination of OT and IT security when he noticed a vendor representative downloading files from the internet and then uploading them to a PLC. Dave was shocked to discover this was happening in many places and had to act. Dave Bang is now working to bring visibility to the OT side and to understand the passion and priorities that come with it.In this episode, you will learn answers to the following:1. What is the difference in security priorities between IT and OT networks?2. How can companies effectively leverage best-of-breed tools to secure their IoT devices?3. What potential attack vectors arise when vendors connect their laptops to the PLC devices?
