Michael Pyle, Director of Product Cybersecurity at Schneider Electric, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss Internet Exposure Prevention, a new SE approach to preventing illicit connections to operational technology and industrial control systems that are insecurely connected to the internet. 
Attackers are adept at enumerating exposed devices and leveraging OT and ICS to access process and corporate networks. Pyle explains that Internet Exposure Prevention drops inbound traffic that the asset did not initiate. Checks are made on the IP address initiating the connection and whether it's a routable source IP, and an allow/deny decision is made. 
Pyle explains the risk to exposed devices, and the need to shut down illicit connections.

For the last episode of season 5, host Bryson Bort sat down with Andrew Ohrt, Resilience Director at West Yost Associates. A civil engineer specializing in water infrastructure, Andrew bridges the gap between traditional engineering and digital risk. Andrew walks us through the "invisible" nature of water systems, the impact of data centers on utility resilience, and how Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE) protects our most essential resource.

How did a drive under a rebuilt bridge in Minneapolis pivot Andrew’s career toward critical infrastructure? Why did a single wastewater release shut down Waikiki Beach for an entire week? And what happens when a cybersecurity team finds a client’s PLC exposed on the open internet?

“To me, the integration of understanding cyber or digital risk in our critical infrastructure, the engineers picking that understanding up, building awareness, building skill sets, figuring out how to manage that risk, is one of the most important things that we've been working on,” he said.

Join us for this and more on this episode of Hack the Plan[e]t.

Craig and Dino recap their experience at S4X26, the leading global OT cybersecurity conference in Miami.
They discuss the conference's "connected" theme and how AI is creating an inflection point in industrial cybersecurity, driving unprecedented connectivity between IT and OT environments.
The hosts explore the challenges of the "silver tsunami" as experienced engineers retire, how AI-powered tools are being embedded directly into edge devices and industrial products from vendors like Cisco and Fortinet, and why the regulatory landscape in Europe is advancing faster than other regions.
They emphasize the importance of connecting with peers and partners in the OT security community, highlight key vendors and technologies showcased at the event, and explain why both IT and OT professionals should attend S4X together to bridge the knowledge gap.
The episode concludes with details about next year's expanded conference in Tampa, February 8-11.
