Two global dairy producers made headlines this week after breaches that started with third party vendors.
Dino and Craig break down how it happened and why it keeps happening. They walk through the reality of remote access on the plant floor, from cellular modems to TeamViewer installs nobody remembers approving, and explain why a single sensor in a plant might show you 25 percent of your assets at best.
The conversation gets to the root of the problem: people, not technology.
OT teams still lock IT out of critical systems, CISOs carry responsibility without authority, and incident response plans rarely account for the integrators working across multiple plants at any given moment.
If you lead security for a manufacturing organization, this episode arms you with the tough questions to bring back to leadership before your company is the one filing with the SEC.
Chapters:
(00:00:00) - The CISO gets hung out to dry, not the third-party vendor
(00:01:02) - Two global dairy producers breached through third-party vendors

(00:03:47) - Why IT has no visibility into what's connected in manufacturing
(00:05:29) - North-south versus east-west traffic monitoring
(00:06:41) - The culture problem of OT locking IT out
(00:08:14) - Responsibility versus authority for CISOs
(00:10:47) - The budget excuse and the real cost of downtime
(00:14:32) - Incident response plans that leave system integrators out
(00:18:56) - SEC filings, brand damage, and the tough questions to ask

The biggest cybersecurity challenge isn't technology - it's people.

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow welcomes Swapnil Kachave for an insightful conversation about what it really takes to build high-performing cybersecurity teams in an era of AI, automation, and increasing cyber threats.

Having built and led Security Operations Center (SOC) teams across five industries, Swapnil shares why successful cybersecurity programs are driven by leadership, communication, and continuous learning - not just the latest tools.

Together, Aaron and Swapnil explore the growing impact of alert fatigue, burnout, workforce development, and the changing role of AI in modern security operations. They also discuss why "people debt" can become just as dangerous as technical debt and how organizations can create resilient teams prepared for the future.

Key Moments: 

Why cybersecurity leadership is fundamentally about people

How to reduce alert fatigue and improve SOC performance

The importance of mentoring, training, and career development

How AI is changing security operations - and the skills teams need next

Why communication and empathy make better security leaders

How organizations can prepare teams for emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing

Whether you're leading a SOC, managing cybersecurity programs, or just beginning your security career, this episode delivers practical leadership lessons that extend far beyond technology.

Key Moments: 

06:04 Dealing with alert fatigue

07:55 Navigating SOC career growth

13:54 From network admin to new opportunities

14:41 Diverse career path overview

21:02 Translating tech issues for executives

23:41 Importance of Soft Skills in Tech

25:50 Prioritizing practical knowledge over trends

31:03 Prototyping and learning new skills

35:26 Using AI to validate ideas

37:57 Human awareness vs. tech evolution

41:32 Quality assurance in AI responses

42:40 Discussing AI system reliability

46:05 Accelerating processes with AI tools

Tune in to discover why investing in people is still the most effective cybersecurity strategy - only on Protect It All.

Open Source Security welcomes Josh Corman to talk about the challenges around securing our critical infrastructure. Specifically the discussion centers around our water supplies. There are a lot of really wild things happening right now with attacks like Volt Typhoon and Salt Typhoon. Josh has an amazing ability to make these sort of discussions easy to understand without spreading FUD. Josh also has suggestions for actions that need to be taken to help deal with these problems. It's not all technical solutions, there are non technical things we can do to help reduce the risk posed by our technical systems failing.

In this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security Chief Strategy Officer Doug Britton and special guest Andrew Ginter, Vice President of Industrial Security at Waterfall Security Solutions, an author, and a leading voice in OT cybersecurity.

Andrew explains why industrial security cannot simply borrow the same tools and practices used in enterprise IT. In OT environments, the physical process is the asset, and malicious information entering the system can become the threat. Doug explores how organizations can reduce exploitability, protect existing software, and maintain deterministic behavior without relying solely on disruptive patching cycles.

Together, Doug and Andrew explore:

Why OT security must be stronger than traditional IT security
How cyber attacks can create real-world safety and operational consequences
The risks created by IT/OT convergence
How cyber-informed engineering strengthens industrial resilience
The role of unidirectional gateways and deterministic protections
Why patch management alone cannot keep pace with AI-driven threats

For critical infrastructure leaders, engineers, and security teams, this episode offers a practical look at designing industrial systems that remain safe, reliable, and resilient when cyber threats become physical.
