The OT and IoT Security Podcast

Incident response is something we hope you don’t have to deal with very often, but for those responsible for securing industrial and critical infrastructure, it’s a critical component of their cybersecurity strategy. In fact it’s key to ensuring that your business, systems and personnel are well prepared to act swiftly and efficiently when an incident does occur. Learn more with Nozomi Networks Cybersecurity and Privacy Director Bruce Snell, and OT Cybersecurity Strategist Danielle Jablanski.

Malware and ransomware are of course some of the biggest and most widely known threats that businesses face today. However, having a basic understanding of the bigger picture will enable you to prepare your business for a whole range of threats that you may come across, and secure your business further. Learn more with Nozomi Networks Cybersecurity and Privacy Director Bruce Snell, and Security Research Evangelist Roya Gordon.

The rise of remote working, hybrid cloud environments and use of mobile and IoT devices has casued the security perimeter approach to become obsolete. It’s quickly being replaced by the zero trust model which denies access to all applications and data by default. Zero trust is less a technology than it is a security policy objective and design approach. Learn more from Nozomi Networks Cybersecurity and Privacy Director Bruce Snell, and Gary Kinghorn, Senior Director of Product Marketing.

Cyber risk management involves identifying all the OT and IoT assets on your operational network, assessing their vulnerabilities, and outlining risk management processes to close security gaps. Learn more with Nozomi Networks Cybersecurity and Privacy Director Bruce Snell, and Technical Sales Director Shan Zhou.

Response time refers to the amount of time that takes place between when we perceive something to when we respond to it. It is the ability to detect, process, and respond to a situation. In this case, we look at what a typical day an Operational Technology (OT) responder must endure and why this role is crucial within critical infrastructure and industrial control networks.

Find out how increased cyber risk, threat of downtime, legacy equipment and IoT proliferation are contributing to the resilience challenge.

Learn how the Ukraine Russia conflict has enlivened nation sponsored and cyber terrorism events and what defines their motivation.

Join our esteemed panel of experts who cover ways to advance cyber security strategies for critical infrastructure by monitoring and protecting your assets.

Will the rapidly expanding use of IoT devices, advent of smart cities and creation of an uber-connected world hasten the demise of privacy? In such a world, just how important is privacy, data security and protecting our IoT infrastructure? Learn about the complex issues of privacy and privilege in this episode.

Operational technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) have traditionally been managed separately. With the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) and the changing threat and risk landscape, industrial, manufacturing and critical infrastructure companies are bringing together their OT, IT and IoT networks to achieve a combined cyber and risk plan to prevent future cyberattacks. The incoming Critical Infrastructure Bill is aimed at driving action in this direction and organizations must start to prepare now to secure their IT as well their OT / IoT infrastructure. These combined capabilities not only achieve significant improvements in cybersecurity but bring remarkable improvements in the efficiency of managing and securing your diverse assets. In this episode, learn more about:

Join us as we embark upon a journey to secure our digital cities, including foundational technologies as CCTV’s. CCTV’s are used in local government, utilities, transportation systems, healthcare… the list goes on.

PrintNightmare and the Kaseya ransomware attack are two recent cyber incidents making waves in the news about the escalating threat environment. Nozomi Networks Labs security researcher Ivan Speziale shares his insights into what went wrong in these attacks, and what can be done to mitigate their impact.

U.S. regulators are looking into how business operators maintain effective cybersecurity. The incoming Security of Critical Infrastructure legislative amendments will no doubt lead to an increased security compliance regime for any country. Companies everywhere should proactively develop a robust cybersecurity compliance program – not because of legislation but because it’s good security hygiene and practice. How can you prepare for that now? Join with us as we explore:

IoT security camera provider Verkada was the target of a recent attack. Hackers gained access to the live video feeds of 150,000 surveillance cameras used by their customers. The attack showed the risks involved in leveraging IoT devices within business operations. In this short episode, find out what happened during the recent security breach, and what common practices can open the door to attacks like this.

The number of devices used in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) is exploding. Unfortunately, this high level of connectivity and network complexity has created an expanded attack surface with many vulnerabilities. Join us to learn about security challenges faced by metro systems, maritime transportation and logistics, and how to gain deeper operational visibility, prevent downtime and detect cyber threats.

To help you address accelerating OT/IoT security issues, the Nozomi Networks Labs team shares their new research findings on the top threats targeting critical infrastructure and industrial operations. Join us for a discussion on the current OT/IoT threat landscape, supply chain threats to OT and IoT environments, ransomware risks, and how to protect your critical OT/IoT networks.

What makes the Australian Critical Infrastructure Act one of the most important pieces of security legislation to come out in the last decade? Join Bill Hagestad II, Jonathan Rusch, Brian Hay and Nozomi Networks’ Diego Betancur for a discussion about the Act's impact upon the Australian industrial landscape. This episode explores the motivations behind targeting critical infrastructure, and covers the fundamental steps toward cybersecurity resilience.

Cybersecurity in the oil & gas industry has become a boardroom issue, as high-profile attacks and targeted threats like TRITON raise awareness about risks to energy sector safety and productivity. Learn how real-world energy leaders manage cyber risks, minimize disruptions and ensure safety. Special guest Jim Guinn, Global Managing Director with Accenture Security, joins the discussion to share his experiences that span time on the rig to board-level cybersecurity planning.
