Podcasts about industrial sector

In many instances the biggest challenge facing OT cybersecurity practitioners is knowing where to focus resources, especially their time. In other words, what are the priorities for the enterprise, facility and people?I recently sat down with Securin's Lead Threat Intelligence Analyst - Aviral Verma. And while I anticipated a conversation focused on vulnerabilities and the threat landscape, discussing these topics led to deeper dives on a range of topics that also included breaking down IT/OT silos, artificial intelligence, the dark web and patching strategies. Listen as we discuss:The transformation of threat actors and how they've been able to cut timelines for exploiting vulnerabilities to 15 days.How hackers are using Dark Web versions of ChatGPT to design more effective credential and data harvesting schemes.Why the security of every software platform, especially those embedded within industrial assets, cannot be assumed.How the legacy dynamic of many OT assets has led hackers to exploit vulnerabilities that have been around for as long as five years.Addressing patching challenges by breaking down silos and getting a deeper understanding of the unique elements of each OT environment.How threat detection needs to evolve, especially with state-sponsored hackers executing "quieter" strategies for attacking manufacturing and critical infrastructure. As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

One of the great things about covering industrial cybersecurity is the number of reports, studies and white papers being produced right now to help provide intelligence on threats, research on new tools, and data on leading trends.The tough part is sorting through all this data and, at some point, prioritizing it in order to get the most and best information.One source that I look forward to each year is IBM's X-Force Threat Intelligence Index. It's full of all that stuff I just mentioned, but will special attention paid to the industrial sector. Unfortunately, some of that attention results from manufacturing being the most highly attacked industry for the fourth consecutive year. Also, according to the Index, it had the most ransomware incidents in 2024.But, as Chris Caridi, a Cyber Threat Analyst for the X-Force and our guest for today's episode shared with me, the news is not all bad. Watch/listen as we discuss:The rise in infostealer malware, credential harvesting and phishing attacks.The importance of understanding how to secure new technology before investing and implementing it.Why most cybersecurity issues are a human problem, not a technical problem.Why multi-factor authentication is now a must for OT connections.The misconfiguration errors that continue to plague manufacturing, and how they create a series of other cybersecurity problems.How manufacturing's cybersecurity journey is similar to the financial sector 10 years ago, and wAs a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

Endpoint security tools worked, but the hackers worked harder for their payday.While everyone likes to know how someone else might have screwed up and what the fallout looks like, the more import elements of episodes like this one come from the in-depth conversations about new tactics and strategies that are being used by the bad guys, and simultaneously, the insight on new best practices for the good guys.So while I did enjoy diving into how the ransomware group Akira was able to use webcam access to infiltrate an organization, it was also great to discuss the evolution of these hacking groups, EDR tools, dark web monitoring and the need for better credential security with Steve Ross. He's the director of cybersecurity at S-RM, a leading provider or cyber intelligence and solutions.Watch/listen as we also discuss:Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools.The rise of Akira, and the evolving symbiotic strategies used by this and other RaaS groups.Patching challenges.The growing need for dark web monitoring.The continued rise in login/credential harvesting.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

We talk a lot about the growing complexity of hacking groups and how their tools and tactics continue to evolve. One such evolution is the ongoing specialization that runs rampant throughout the black hat community – especially when it comes to ransomware. The rise of initial access brokers, affiliate programs, spoofing domain creators, dark web communities, and more are fueling ransomware-as-a-service groups and posing new cybersecurity challenges. And while numerous reports detail the rise in ransomware attacks and the escalating amounts being paid in seeking a reprieve from denial of service, data extortion, and supply chain hacks, one recent finding really stood out. In their annual State of Ransomware Report, Blackfog stated that manufacturing had the highest number of undisclosed ransomware attacks, when compared to all other industries. So, as tough as we know the ransomware challenge is – it's actually a bit worse than we acknowledge because of the growing number of attacks that go unreported. Fortunately, we have an army of highly skilled individuals working to combat these threats. And that includes our guest for today's episode - Fortra's senior manager of domain and dark web monitoring solutions, Nick Oram. Watch/listen as we discuss:The surge of new ransomware tactics and groups, like RansomHub.The origins and continued growth of Initial Access Brokers (IABs) within the ransomware community.How affiliate programs are helping both RaaS and IAB groups increase their rate of successful attacks.Why dark web monitoring might be more important than ever for manufacturers.The ongoing "we adapt", "they adapt" dynamic.How to better educate the workforce and shift from a "As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

Breaking down silos while securing the cloud and leveraging secure-by-design advancements.The challenges facing the industrial OT landscape that emanate from external sources are … varied, complex and constantly evolving. Smarter hacking groups, AI-driven phishing schemes and deceptive malware viruses head the list of concerns.And while these factors show no signs of fading, the reality is that there are just as many challenges facing industrial cybersecurity that are embedded within the very foundation of our operations. These legacy dynamics have created internal battles that absorb valuable resources, waste precious talent and help the bad guys stay a step ahead. With this in mind, we're going to tap into two key industry leaders to get their take on pressing, internal liabilities that are ensuring key production assets remain exposed. We'll hear from Silverfort's Rob Larsen, as he discusses the ongoing struggles created by IT/OT silos, as well secure-by-design initiatives. Mandiant's Paul Shaver will also offer his take on these silos, and how decisions related to cloud networking are impacting the security stature of key data, assets and network connections.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

DeepSeek has impressed many and reinforcement learning is getting new attention. However, it was never gone, but is now celebrating a revival. Jan Kountik is one of the most prominent AI experts in the field. We talk to him. We talk to Jan Koutnik about prejudices, approaches and new ideas in reinforcement learning and why new ideas are needed.

One of the goals of the show is to help you better understand all the threats facing your OT assets, your data and your people. In order to do that, we work to identify those individuals with a feel and in-depth understanding of these threats and the evolving network of threat actors.And I can't think of anyone better to break down the hacker landscape than an individual whose research has led to being followed by well-known data breachers on social media and considered persona-non-grata in countries housing many of the most notorious state-sponsored hacking groups in the world. It's my pleasure to welcome Jeremiah Fowler back to Security Breach.

«Leadership is about sowing the common vision and the common way forward, bringing the people with you.»How can a nuclear physicist transform into a data leader in the industrial sector? Kristiina Tiilas from Finland shares her fascinating journey from leading digitalization programs at Fortum to shaping data-driven organizations at companies like Outokumpu and Kemira. Kristiina provides unique insights into navigating complex data-related projects within traditional industrial environments. With a passion for skydiving and family activities, she balances a demanding career with an active lifestyle, making her an inspiring guest in this episode.We focus on the importance of data competence at the executive level and discuss how organizations can strengthen data understanding without a formal CDO role. Kristiina shares her experiences in developing innovative digitalization games that engage employees and promote a data-driven culture. Through concrete examples rather than technical jargon, she demonstrates how complex concepts can be made accessible and understandable. This approach not only provides a competitive advantage but also transforms data into an integral part of the company's decision-making processes.Here are my key takeaways:The AI hype became a wake-up moment for Data professionals in Finland taking the international stage. As a leader in dat you need to balance data domain knowledge and leadership skills. Both are important.Leadership is important to provide an arena for your data people to deliver value.As a leader you are in a position that requires you to find ways of making tacit knowledge explicit. If not you are nit able too use that knowledge to train other people or a model.CDOThe Chief Data Officer is not really present in Nordic organizations.An executive role for data is discussed much, but in reality not that widespread.Without CDO present, you need to train somebody in the top leadership group to voice data.CDO is different in every organization.Is CDO an intermediate role, to emphasis Data Literacy, or a permanent focus?You can achieve a lot through data focus of other CxOs.Make data topics tangible, this is about lingo, narratives, but also about ways of communicating - Kristiina used gamification as a method.Creating a game to explain concepts in very basic terms with clear outcomes and structure can help with Data Literacy for the entire organization.Data in OT vs. ITPredictions and views on production should be able to be vision also in Operational Settings on all levels. There should not be any restriction in utilizing analytical data in operational settings.Security and timeliness are the big differentiators between OT and IT.These are two angles of the same. They need to be connected.IoT (Internet of Things) requires more interoperability.Extracting data has been a one way process. The influence of Reverse ETL on OT data is interesting to explore further.There are possibilities to create data driven feedback loops in operations.Data TeamsIf you start, start with a team of five: One who knows the data (Data Engineering) One who knows the businessOne who understands Analytics / AIOne who understands the users / UXOne to lead the teamYou can improve your capabilities one step at a time - build focus areas that are aligned with business need an overall strategy.If you expect innovation from your data team, you need to decouple them from the operational burden.Show your value in $$$.

When we talk about the threat landscape for the industrial sector, the eye-catching, headline-grabbing hacking groups with nefarious names typically lead the list of concerns. And while understanding their well-publicized exploits are important, what is often overlooked are all the little things these groups were able to do before dropping malware, shutting down networks, extorting ransoms, and stealing data.This is where taking the time to address those insecure connection points, update login credentials or patch zero and one-day vulnerabilities continue to be essential in the fight to safeguard operational technology and the industrial control system. But, the reasons these problems remain is that the solution is never as simple as it sounds. So, hopefully our collection of experts for this episode can help show you the way.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

Manufacturing. So hot right now.   Last year we kicked off 21 new RPO and volume solutions engagements. Eight of them came within the Industrial space.   What we enjoyed the most: it's where we have the least amount of competition from other recruiting firms.   We're not complaining. But why is that?    Jeff Smith and James Hornick address why the backbone of the US economy is largely underserved by the recruitment industry in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 104, "Why Aren't Recruiting Firms Innovating In The Industrial Sector?

The continued evolution of the CyberAv3ngers hacking group and its IIoT-focused malware.We talk a lot about change on Security Breach. Some of it's good and obviously some of it makes us want to tear our hair out. Well, this episode, surprisingly, should go easy on the scalp, even though it will focus on the IOCONTROL malware strand recently detected by Noam Moshe and Claroty's Team82. The malware is described as a custom-built IoT/OT strand created by the Iran-based hacktivist group, the CyberAv3ngers. The malware targeted OT/IoT devices in Israel and the U.S. Moshe's team detected the malware being used to attack IoT and SCADA/OT devices of various types including IP cameras, routers, PLCs, HMIs and firewalls. Typically, this is the part of the story that takes us down a dark and frustrating road, but as you'll hear, that's not necessarily the case this time.For more information on Team82's findings on IOCONTROL, click here.Also, just a bit of housekeeping – we're switching the frequency of Security Breach from weekly to bi-weekly. This change will allow me to spend more time on each episode, which will translate to greater depth and expanded coverage on all the pressing topics of industrial cybersecurity. And remember, this is your podcast – let me know your thoughts and feelings on the change and anything else you'd like to see on the show.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

Winston Churchill famously stated that, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” His concerns about applying lessons learned to post WWII foreign policy initiatives rings just as true in the current cybersecurity climate. So, in an effort to ensure we repeat as few of 2024's mistakes in 2025, we're going to take a look at some of the industrial sector's biggest exploits, and offer solutions and strategies in our ever-raging combat with the Black Hats. Watch/listen as we cover:A unique supply chain hack that came up during our conversation with Theo Zafirakos, a Cyber Risk and Information Security Expert at Fortra.The fall of 2024 brought security compromises to the front door of a number of prominent industrial enterprises, including Halliburton.In early August millions were impacted when National Public Data, a major data broker that performs background checks, reported that 2.9 billion personal records from over a million individuals in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada were accessed.Ford Motor Company was also a target, with a data breach that saw hacking groups steal 44,000 records containing personal and product information.Anna Wells, executive editor of Manufacturing.net and Manufacturing Business Technology, brought us coverage of a hack that has crippled a global beverage maker.We close out with a story from early this year describing how some of the basic tools found throughout a manufacturing plant can become pathways for the innovative hacker.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

According to Fortinet's 2024 State of Operational Technology and Cybersecurity Report, 43 percent of those surveyed reported a loss of business critical data or intellectual property so far in 2024– a number this is up nearly 10 percent from last year. And we all know what happens with this hijacked data. Per the World Economic Forum's May 2024 white paper, the number of ransomware attacks on industrial infrastructure doubled in 2023, boosting ransomware to the leading concern for manufacturers, with 40 percent citing it as their top issue. While that may not surprise you, this might - due to the many challenges we've discussed here on Security Breach, the industrial sector now accounts for 71 percent of all ransomware attacks. Our data is valuable and the hackers know it.To offer some perspective on protecting this data, we sat down with Karthik Krishnan, CEO of Concentric.ai – a leading provider of data security posture management solutions. Watch/listen as he provides insight on:Prioritizing and limiting data access to lessen the blast radius.How data, especially customer data, is essentially the "new oil."Reversing your mindset to think about "data out" instead of "user in".The generative AI advancements that continue to be made, and how they're producing more complex phishing and ransomware attacks.  Why it has become easier for hackers to get a foothold on your network.The best ways to shore up your weakest security link - employees.How it all starts with data discovery and visualization, then prioritization.A look at the money involved with remediation and response costs versus proper planning and defense prep.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

Next to artificial intelligence, one of the biggest buzz terms in industrial cybersecurity right now might be SBOM, or software bill of materials. The term generates equal parts concern and eye roll as those entrusted with enterprise defense look to ensure that there are no embedded vulnerabilities amongst the data platforms they are both sourcing and utilizing within their offerings. Perhaps most frustrating is having to essentially reverse engineer a number of established products in order to quell security concerns. However, as frustrating as these efforts might be, the growing number of zero day hacks emanating from embedded security vulnerabilities will only continue to grow as we look to embed greater levels of sensor, software and AI-driven functionality. In this episode we hear from Marcellus Buchheit, President and CEO of Wibu-Systems USA, a leading provider of security solutions for embedded data and intellectual property. Watch/listen as we discuss:How vulnerabilities and risks need to be assessed beyond their expense to focus on updates, reconfigurations and the growing number of OT connection points.The need for SOPs that make it easier to assimilate cybersecurity into OT processes.Ways to more safely update the growing number of devices on the plant floor.Protecting IP and, more specifically, the software coding associated with it.The impact AI continues to have on increasing the sophistication of hacking attempts.Why all hacks are "highly preventable."The role of quantum computing and the steps to take in preparing for "Q Day".As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

For this episode, instead of tapping into one source for feedback and updates on industrial cybersecurity, we're going to look at some of the key insights previous guests have offered on the evolving threat landscape – from increased risks emanating from technological integrations and an uptick in automation, to the more traditional adversaries responsible for next-generation malware, ransomware and phishing schemes. To kick things off, we'll hear from:Tom Marsland, VP of Technology for Cloud Range as he discusses threats to our infrastructure and state-sponsored groups from China.(3:31) He'll be followed by Cyberhoot's Craig Taylor as he updates us on phishing schemes.(5:45) And then we'll hear from Jon Taylor at Versa Networks as he talks about strategies bad actors are taking in targeting legacy industrial control systems. While many of those topics are already at the top of our list of concerns, there are also a number of evolving threats that warrant an uptick in resources – from both a financial and skillset development perspective. We'll dive into comments from:(9:26) Corsha's Anusha Iyer as she discusses supply chain and dwelling attacks.(15:33) Venafi's Kevin Bocek and his take on embedded software vulnerabilities and how hackers are taking advantage of them.(22:18) Baker Tilly's Jeff Krull offers an update on the evolving complexity of ransomware groups and how they're targeting the industrial sector.(25:20) And finally, let's wrap up with one of my favorite guests we've ever had on Security Breach – researcher Jeremiah Fowler. He'll offer some insight on a number of unique, embedded threats and some of the lessons he's learned in tangling with state-sponsored Russian hackers.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

While there are plenty of unknowns when it comes to protecting the OT attack surface, there are some things that are undeniably true.We know that the frequency of attacks will continue to increase.We know that it's not if your ICS will be probed, but when.And we also know that asset and connection visibility is an ongoing challenge due to the implementation of more automated technology.Finally, we also know that one of the most important aspects of any cybersecurity plan is the portion that lays out the response. One of the most effective ways to address these concerns can be the use of attack simulations. In this episode we tap in to the expertise of Tom Marsland, VP of Technology for Cloud Range, a leading provider of live-fire cybersecurity exercises and training. Watch/listen as we discuss:All the little things that are continuing to pose challenges to industrial cybersecurity.Why state-sponsored hacker groups in China are getting more of his attention lately.Why successful incident response is about the people, not the tools.The importance of "training like you fight."His role with VetSec, and the role it can play in filling cybersecurity talent gaps. How to bring IT and OT together and why the onus on strengthening these bonds might fall more on IT.Why the culture of security needs to permeate throughout the entire organization.How AI can help make the most of your people.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

Maybe you're sick of hearing about phishing schemes and the way hackers are using this strategy to infiltrate your networks, access intellectual data, shut down production, or hold your assets for ransom. If that's the case, then you've made a lot of hackers very happy.And based on Proofpoint's 2024 State of Phish report, protecting against phishing schemes is simply not being reinforced or given the proper priority. For example,71% of surveyed users admitted to taking a risky action, and 96% knew they were doing something risky when interacting with email or text messages.85% of security professionals said that most employees know they are responsible for security, but 59% of employees weren't sure or claimed that they're not responsible.Furthermore, 24% admitted to responding to emails or text messages from someone they don't know, and 19% clicked on links in emails from people they don't know.Finally, 73% of surveyed companies reported a business email compromise, but only 29% are actively teaching users about BEC attacks. To address these and other phishing attack dynamics, I sat down with Craig Taylor, co-founder of Cyberhoot, a leading provider of phishing prevention solutions. Watch/listen as we discuss:How hackers are going after session tokens to steal valuable credential data.Why phishing prevention training spends too much time on avoiding the click instead of positive reinforcement of proper actions.The need for worker training to go beyond any impact to the company, to the individual cyber risks as well.How adding "friction" to email could be a solution.The bad password advice that many high-level organizations continue to distribute.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

Welcome to episode #934 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #934. When it comes to management and innovation, Vijay Govindarajan (aka VG) is a true legend. VG is a name synonymous with strategy and innovation. As the Coxe Distinguished Professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business and a key player in Silicon Valley's Mach49 incubator (prior to joining the faculty at Tuck, VG was on the faculties of Harvard Business School, Insead and the Indian Institute of Management), VG's insights are pure gold for anyone looking to push their business thinking forward. VG's journey is impressive. From being the first Professor in Residence and Chief Innovation Consultant at General Electric to working with top management teams in over 40% of the Fortune 500, VG has seen it all. In our conversation, he breaks down the evolving definition of innovation and why it's crucial for organizations to aim high and take risks. One of his standout ideas is the fusion strategy — melding physical products with tech to create something truly remarkable (also the name of his latest book, Fusion Strategy - How Real-Time Data and AI Will Power the Industrial Future). It's not just about having the latest gadgets but about integrating them in ways that make life better. We also tackle the topic of leadership. VG stresses that true leaders are those who can solve customer problems in real-time and build lifelong relationships. He's a firm believer that smart data and AI are the new electricity - essential and transformative. But it's not just about having the tools... it's about how you use them. Innovation isn't just a buzzword for VG; it's a necessity, especially in our unpredictable world. We also talked about the impact of black swan events and how these unpredictable challenges require a new way of thinking and an openness to change. He's all about thinking differently and pushing the boundaries to reach your true potential (see his ten-plus business books or the countless articles he's published in the top academic journals - work like Reverse Innovation, Stop The Innovation Wars and many more). It's about being bold, taking risks, and learning from every step along the way. VG's practical experience and strategic mind make him a treasure trove of insights. He's worked with industry giants like Boeing, Coca-Cola, FedEx, and Walmart, and spoken at major events like TED and the World Economic Forum at Davos. He's a big brain with a warm heart and a passion for doing things right in business today. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:06:48. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

Takeaways Embrace true potential and overcome risk aversion to achieve innovation. Integrate physical and tech to create better products through fusion strategy. Leverage digital technologies to transform the industrial sector. Focus on solving customer problems in real time and building lifelong relationships. Smart data and AI are the new electricity, providing immense power and potential for companies. Innovation is crucial in a world of unpredictable change, and conducting low-cost experiments at the edges of the organization can lead to strategic flexibility and adaptability. Black swan events, such as Covid 19, require leaders to think differently and embrace new ways of navigating uncertainty. The marketplace is evolving and improving our lives, with technology enabling greater connectivity and convenience. Thinking differently and continuously striving to reach one's true potential is key to personal and professional growth.

Transitioning the industrial sector to run on clean energy through electrification is a critical strategy to decarbonize one of our economy's largest-emitting sectors. But electric utilities and the power grid must be able to meet increased demand from electrified industries. Effectively managing electrified load from industry requires new strategies and reliance on tried-and-true methods. This episode features Anna Johnson of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) to discuss industrial electrification and its implications for the grid, utilities, and states.Guest Bios:  Anna Johnson is a Senior Researcher with the Industry Program for the ACEEE, where she conducts research and analysis to support industrial decarbonization efforts.

For example, within its commercial product division, which includes carpets used in the hospitality industry, the industrial industry, and government, some customers have net zero goals built into their contracts. In addition, Mohawk itself has set a net zero goal for 2035 and is also working toward a way to apply those goals to its global market. Mohawk's sustainability team is currently focusing on energy efficiency projects, using both internal and external capital when necessary. The company wants to reduce its footprint as much as possible before initiating its greater energy goals. The energy efficiency projects reduce emissions while providing a favorable return on investment.  Sustainability in a young company Arcosa has been a publicly traded company for five years. From the start, it made ESG a company priority. In 2022, Arcosa published its first sustainability goal: a 10% emissions intensity reduction by 2026. Within the first year, the company almost met that goal. As a young, acquisitive company early in its journey, Arcosa is looking to make a solid commitment to sustainability that mostly avoids making exceptions or exclusions. Many companies early in their sustainability journeys are still tracking progress in spreadsheets. With the future of regulation becoming increasingly clear, that business process is not sustainable. Arcosa has helped plants operationalize their data and provides a specific emissions target rather than a broad aspiration. Communication and interconnection Kirkhill is primarily a rubber manufacturing business supplying commercial aircraft, defense and space. The company has several California businesses, where the escalating cost of energy and the increasing availability of incentives are making the ROI of energy projects similar to that of other productivity projects, so it's become easier to make energy a priority. Among other clean energy projects, including a small energy storage battery and LED lighting, Kirkhill has installed microturbines that are functionally ready but waiting for utility approval. The company's next project is carport PV solar. Ultimately, it is working toward building an onsite microgrid one piece at a time. After facing expediency challenges with its utility, Kirkhill advises anyone starting an energy project to begin early on the interconnection process.    Resources & People Mentioned Arcosa Mohawk Industries Kirkhill Connect with Victoria Lopez-Whitley On LinkedIn Connect with Scott Bargerstock On LinkedIn Connect with Charlie Marquez On LinkedIn Connect With Smart Energy Decisions https://smartenergydecisions.com   Follow them on LinkedIn Subscribe to Smart Energy Voices If you're interested in participating in the next Smart Energy Decision Event, visit smartenergydecisions.com or email our Community Development team at attend@smartenergydecisions.com
