⬥GUEST⬥Tobias Halmans, OT Incident Responder | GIAC Certified Incident Handler | Automation Security Consultant at admeritia GmbH | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobias-halmans/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥Business continuity planning is a familiar exercise for most IT and security leaders—but when you move into operational technology (OT), the rules change. In this episode of Redefining CyberSecurity, Sean Martin talks with Tobias Halmans, an incident responder at admeritia, who helps organizations prepare for and respond to incidents in OT environments. Tobias shares why disaster recovery planning in OT requires more than simply adapting IT frameworks. It demands a change in approach, mindset, and communication.OT engineers don't think in terms of “ransomware readiness.” They think in terms of safety, uptime, manual fallback options, and how long a plant can stay operational without a SCADA system. As Tobias explains, while IT teams worry about backup integrity and rapid rebooting, OT teams are focused on whether shutting down a system—even safely—is even an option. And when the recovery plan depends on third-party vendors, the assumptions made on both sides can derail the response before it begins.Tobias walks us through the nuances of defining success in OT recovery. Unlike the IT world's metrics like mean time to recover (MTTR), OT environments often hinge on production impacts and safety thresholds. Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) still exist—but they must be anchored in real-world plant operations, often shaped by vendor limitations, legacy constraints, and tightly regulated safety requirements.Perhaps most importantly, Tobias stresses that business continuity planning for OT can't just be a cybersecurity add-on. It must be part of broader risk and operational conversations, ideally happening when systems are being designed or upgraded. But in reality, many organizations are only starting these conversations now—often driven more by compliance mandates than proactive risk strategy.Whether you're a CISO trying to bridge the gap with your OT counterparts or an engineer wondering why cyber teams keep showing up with playbooks that don't fit, this conversation offers grounded, real-world insight into what preparedness really means for critical operations.⬥SPONSORS⬥LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/attcybersecurity-3jdk3ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974⬥RESOURCES⬥Inspiring Article: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sarah-fluchs_notfallvorsorge-in-der-ot-traut-euch-activity-7308744270453092352-Q8X1⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:
Title: "Catching Up With Ken Munro After Infosecurity Europe 2025 — Hacking the Planet, One Car, One Plane, and One System at a Time"A Post–Infosecurity Europe 2025 Conversation with Ken MunroGuestsKen Munro Security writer & speakerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-munro-17899b1/HostsSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazineWebsite: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, CMO, and Creative Director at ITSPmagazineWebsite: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974___________After a whirlwind week at Infosecurity Europe 2025, I had the chance to reconnect with Ken Munro from Pen Test Partners — a longtime friend, hacker, and educator who brings cybersecurity to life in the most tangible ways. From car hacking escape rooms to flight simulators in pubs, we talked about why touching tech matters, how myth-busting makes us safer, and how learning through play might just be the key to securing our increasingly complex world. Tune in, and maybe bring a cocktail.⸻There's something special about catching up with someone who's not just an expert in cybersecurity, but also someone who reminds you why this industry can — and should — be fun. Ken Munro and I go back to the early days of DEFCON's Aviation Village, and this post-Infosecurity Europe 2025 chat brought all that hacker spirit right back to the surface.Ken and his crew from Pen Test Partners set up shop next to the main Infosecurity Europe venue in a traditional London pub — but this wasn't your average afterparty. They transformed it into a hands-on hacking village, complete with a car demo, flight simulator, ICS cocktail CTF, and of course… a bar. The goal? Show that cybersecurity isn't just theory — it's something you can touch. Something that moves. Something that can break — and be fixed — before it breaks us.We talked about the infamous “Otto the Autopilot” from Airplane, the Renault Clio-turned-Mario Kart console, and why knowing how TCAS (collision avoidance) works on an Airbus matters just as much as knowing your Wi-Fi password. We also dug into the real-world cybersecurity concerns of industrial systems, electronic flight bags, and why European regulation might be outpacing the U.S. in some areas — for better or worse.One of the biggest takeaways? It's time to stop fearing the hacker mindset and start embracing it. Curiosity isn't a threat — it's a superpower. And when channeled correctly, it leads to safer skies, smarter cars, and fewer surprises in the water we drink or the power we use.There's a lot to reflect on from our conversation, but above all: education, community, and creativity are still the most powerful tools we have in security — and Ken is out there proving that, one demo and one pint at a time.Thanks again, Ken. See you at the next village — whichever pub, hangar, or DEFCON corner it ends up in.⸻Keywords: cybersecurity, ethical hacking, pen testing, Infosecurity Europe, embedded systems, car hacking, flight simulator, ICS security, industrial control systems, aviation cybersecurity, hacker mindset, DEFCON___________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Infosecurity Europe 2025 London coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/infosec25Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Guests: Kirstie Failey @ Google Threat Intelligence Group Scott Runnels @ Mandiant Incident Response Topics: What is the hardest thing about turning distinct incident reports into a fun to read and useful report like M-Trends? How much are the lessons and recommendations skewed by the fact that they are all “post-IR” stories? Are “IR-derived” security lessons the best way to improve security? Isn't this a bit like learning how to build safely from fires vs learning safety engineering? The report implies that F500 companies suffer from certain security issues despite their resources, does this automatically mean that smaller companies suffer from the same but more? "Dwell time" metrics sound obvious, but is there magic behind how this is done? Sometimes “dwell tie going down” is not automatically the defender's win, right? What is the expected minimum dwell time? If “it depends”, then what does it depend on? Impactful outliers vs general trends (“by the numbers”), what teaches us more about security?

LevelBlue's latest Threat Trends Report pulls no punches: phishing, malware, and ransomware attacks are not just continuing—they're accelerating. In this episode of ITSPmagazine's Brand Story podcast, hosts Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli are joined by Kenneth Ng, a threat hunter and lead incident responder on LevelBlue's Managed Detection and Response (MDR) team, to unpack the findings and recommendations from the report.Phishing as a Service and the Surge in Email CompromisesOne of the most alarming trends highlighted by Kenneth is the widespread availability of Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) kits, including names like RaccoonO365, Mamba 2FA, and Greatness. These kits allow attackers with little to no technical skill to launch sophisticated campaigns that bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA) by hijacking session tokens. With phishing attacks now leading to full enterprise compromises, often through seemingly innocuous Microsoft 365 access, the threat is more serious than ever.Malware Is Smarter, Simpler—and It's Spreading FastMalware, particularly fake browser updates and credential stealers like Lumma Stealer, is also seeing a rise in usage. Kenneth points out the troubling trend of malware campaigns that rely on basic user interactions—like copying and pasting text—leading to full compromise through PowerShell or command prompt access. Basic group policy configurations (like blocking script execution for non-admin users) are still underutilized defenses.Ransomware: Faster and More Automated Than EverThe speed of ransomware attacks has increased dramatically. Kenneth shares real-world examples where attackers go from initial access to full domain control in under an hour—sometimes in as little as ten minutes—thanks to automation, remote access tools, and credential harvesting. This rapid escalation leaves defenders with very little room to respond unless robust detection and prevention measures are in place ahead of time.Why This Report MattersRather than presenting raw data, LevelBlue focuses on actionable insights. Each major finding comes with recommendations that can be implemented regardless of company size or maturity level. The report is a resource not just for LevelBlue customers, but for any organization looking to strengthen its defenses.Be sure to check out the full conversation and grab the first edition of the Threat Trends Report ahead of LevelBlue's next release this August—and stay tuned for their updated Futures Report launching at RSA Conference on April 28.Learn more about LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/levelblue266f6cNote: This story contains promotional content.

In this episode, we sit with security leader and venture investor Sergej Epp to discuss the Cloud-native Security Landscape. Sergej currently serves as the Global CISO and Executive at Cloud Security leader Sysdig and is a Venture Partner at Picus Capital. We will dive into some insights from Sysdig's recent "2025 Cloud-native Security and Usage Report."Big shout out to our episode sponsor, Yubico!Passwords aren't enough. Cyber threats are evolving, and attackers bypass weak authentication every day. YubiKeys provides phishing-resistant security for individuals and businesses—fast, frictionless, and passwordless.Upgrade your security:https://yubico.comSergj and I dove into a lot of great topics related to Cloud-native Security, including:Some of the key trends in the latest Sysdig 2025 Cloud-native Security Report and trends that have stayed consistent YoY. Sergj points out that while attackers have stayed consistent, organizations have and continue to make improvements to their securitySergj elaborated on his current role as Sysdig's internal CISO and his prior role as a field CISO and the differences between the two roles in terms of how you interact with your organization, customers, and the community.We unpacked the need for automated Incident Response, touching on how modern cloud-native attacks can happen in as little as 10 minutes and how organizations can and do struggle without sufficient visibility and the ability to automate their incident response.The report points out that machine identities, or Non-Human Identities (NHI), are 7.5 times riskier than human identities and that there are 40,000 times more of them to manage. This is a massive problem and gap for the industry, and Sergj and I walked through why this is a challenge and its potential risks.Vulnerability prioritization continues to be crucial, with the latest Sysdig report showing that just 6% of vulnerabilities are “in-use”, or reachable. Still, container bloat has ballooned, quintupling in the last year alone. This presents real problems as organizations continue to expand their attack surface with expanded open-source usage but struggle to determine what vulnerabilities truly present risks and need to be addressed.We covered the challenges with compliance, as organizations wrestle with multiple disparate compliance frameworks, and how compliance can drive better security but also can have inverse impacts when written poorly or not keeping pace with technologies and threats.We rounded out the conversation with discussing AI/ML packages and the fact they have grown by 500% when it comes to usage, but organizations have decreased public exposure of AI/ML workloads by 38% since the year prior, showing some improvements are being made to safeguarding AI workloads from risks as well.

Your cyber incident response will fail if you: ✅ Don't train your team regularly ✅ Don't stress-test your plan with tabletop exercises ✅ Don't remediate weaknesses after real incidents or simulations The good news? These failures are entirely preventable. The organizations that train, test, and improve are the ones that survive—and even thrive—when an attack […]
At ThreatLocker Zero Trust World 2025 in Orlando, Art Ocain, VP of Cybersecurity & Incident Response at Airiam, shared valuable insights into applying zero trust principles to incident response. The conversation, hosted by Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin, highlighted the critical role of zero trust in preparing for and managing security incidents.The Zero Trust Mindset in Incident Response Ocain discussed how zero trust methodology—embracing the principles of "assume breach" and "always verify, never trust"—can significantly enhance incident response strategies. Instead of merely securing the perimeter or endpoints, his approach involves identifying and protecting core systems through micro-segmentation and robust identity management. By securing each component individually, organizations can minimize the impact of potential breaches.For example, Ocain described a scenario where segmenting a SQL server from an application server could prevent data loss during an attack. Even if an application server is compromised, critical data remains secure, allowing quicker recovery and continuity of operations.Dynamic Containment Strategies Ocain emphasized the importance of dynamic containment when responding to incidents. Traditional methods, such as using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools, are effective for forensic analysis but may not stop active threats quickly. Instead, he advocated for an "allow list only" approach that restricts access to systems and data, effectively containing threats while maintaining critical business functions.In practice, when Ocain is called into a crisis, he often implements a deny-by-default solution to isolate compromised systems. This strategy allows him to perform forensics and bring systems back online selectively, ensuring threat actors cannot access recovered systems.Balancing Security with Business Needs A significant challenge in adopting zero trust is gaining executive buy-in. Ocain noted that executive teams often push back against zero trust measures, either out of a desire for convenience or because of misconceptions about its impact on business culture. His approach involves demonstrating real-world scenarios where zero trust could mitigate damage during breaches. By focusing on critical systems and showing the potential consequences of compromised identities or systems, Ocain effectively bridges the gap between security and business priorities.A Cultural Shift Toward Security The discussion also touched on the cultural shift required to fully integrate zero trust into an organization. Zero trust is not just a technological framework but a mindset that influences how every employee views access and security. Through scenario-driven exercises and engaging executive teams early in the process, Ocain helps organizations transition from a "department of no" mentality to a collaborative, security-first culture.Listen to the full episode to explore more strategies on implementing zero trust in incident response and how to align security initiatives with business goals.Guest: Art Ocain, VP of Cybersecurity & Incident Response at Airiam | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/artocain/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber] | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli____________________________This Episode's SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ZTW 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/zero-trust-world-2025-cybersecurity-and-zero-trust-event-coverage-orlando-floridaRegister for Zero Trust World 2025: https://itspm.ag/threat5mu1____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastTo see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Zero Trust World 2025 is officially underway, and the conversation centers around what it means to build a culture of security. Hosted by ThreatLocker, this event brings together security professionals, IT leaders, and decision-makers to explore the complexities of Zero Trust—not just as a concept but as an operational mindset.Defining Zero Trust in PracticeSean Martin and Marco Ciappelli set the stage with a key takeaway: Zero Trust is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each organization must define its own approach based on its unique environment, leadership structure, and operational needs. It is not about a single tool or quick fix but about establishing a continuous process of verification and risk management.A Focus on Security OperationsSecurity operations and incident response are among the core themes of this year's discussions. Speakers and panelists examine how organizations can implement Zero Trust principles effectively while maintaining business agility. Artificial intelligence, its intersection with cybersecurity, and its potential to both strengthen and challenge security frameworks are also on the agenda.Learning Through EngagementOne of the standout aspects of Zero Trust World is its emphasis on education. From hands-on training and certification opportunities to interactive challenges—such as hacking a device to win it—attendees gain practical experience in real-world security scenarios. The event fosters a culture of learning, with participation from help desk professionals, CIOs, CTOs, and cybersecurity practitioners alike.The Power of CommunityBeyond the technical discussions, the event underscores the importance of community. Conferences like these are not just about discovering new technologies or solutions; they are about forging connections, sharing knowledge, and strengthening the collective approach to security.Zero Trust World 2025 is just getting started, and there's much more to come. Stay tuned as Sean and Marco continue to bring insights from the conference floor, capturing the voices that are shaping the future of cybersecurity.Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber] | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli____________________________This Episode's SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ZTW 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/zero-trust-world-2025-cybersecurity-and-zero-trust-event-coverage-orlando-floridaRegister for Zero Trust World 2025: https://itspm.ag/threat5mu1____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastTo see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?
