Klaus Mochalski and OT security veteran Dale Peterson (S4 Events) discuss the long-standing discrepancy between predicted cyber doom and the actual lack of catastrophic OT incidents. Discover how the crowdsourced OT Incident Impact Score helps eliminate media FUD, and learn why tracking "near misses" is the true key for asset owners to understand and mitigate real-world threats.

Craig and Dino address one of the most overlooked problems in OT security: the IIoT devices your security tools don't automatically detect.
Most OT intrusion detection platforms do a reasonable job of identifying core control-layer assets such as PLCs, drives, and motor control centers. The problem is everything else. Laptops plugged into the network, third-party devices brought in by contractors, and a growing range of connected IIoT equipment often go completely undetected. Those are the gaps where risk accumulates.
Craig and Dino explain why the belief that machines are air-gapped is a dangerous myth, how PLCs acting as gateways prevent intrusion detection platforms from seeing the devices behind them, and why an asset inventory is not the same as knowing your real risk and CVE exposure in multi-vendor environments.
They reframe OT cybersecurity as a process-integrity problem and show how unmanaged network activity, third-party remote access, and even routine IT security scans can quietly degrade OEE and trigger unplanned downtime that costs millions.
Using predictive-maintenance analogies such as thermal, harmonics, and vibration sensing, they make the case for treating digital anomalies the same way mature plants already treat mechanical ones.
They close by examining why so many OT detection tools become shelfware, how to escape alert fatigue, and the two practical paths to real IT/OT convergence: building the right relationships with OEMs, system integrators, and AEC partners, and designing security-ready facilities from the ground up.
It's a practical listen for CISOs, plant and engineering leaders, and OT/IT teams responsible for securing manufacturing and critical infrastructure.

The joint CISA, FBI, Department of War, Department of Energy, and Department of State briefing on adapting Zero Trust to operational technology landed on April 29. Has OT leadership read it?
In this episode, Craig and Dino address how the European Cyber Resilience Act is quietly forcing US plants into failed audits, why IT teams still see less than a third of OT assets, how EDR tools are taking down $100K-an-hour packaging lines, and why only a handful of integrators in North America have a real OT cybersecurity practice.
They walk through what zero trust and micro-segmentation actually look like inside a 20-year-old plant with flat layer-two networks, DLR rings, jump boxes, and Cradlepoint workarounds, and lay out the first concrete move every CISO and CIO should make to start closing the IT/OT gap.

Kenny Mesker, OT Cybersecurity Strategist and Distinguished Engineer at Chevron, joins Derek Harp to share his remarkable journey from growing up on a farm in West Texas to becoming one of the industry's leading voices in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity.
With more than 30 years of experience spanning electric utilities, SCADA systems, industrial control systems, and cybersecurity, Kenny reflects on the evolution of OT security from the days of air-gapped networks to today's interconnected digital environments. He discusses how a passion for problem-solving led him from electrical engineering into industrial operations and ultimately into cybersecurity strategy.
Kenny offers practical advice for professionals looking to enter the OT cybersecurity field, explaining why hands-on operational experience remains one of the most valuable foundations for success. He also explores the challenges of IT/OT convergence, the importance of risk assessment, and how cybersecurity leaders must think beyond individual systems to protect entire organizations and critical infrastructure.
Looking ahead, Kenny shares his perspective on artificial intelligence, cloud technologies, and the future of OT architectures, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges these emerging technologies will bring to industrial environments.
Whether you're an engineer, cybersecurity professional, student, or industry leader, this episode provides valuable insights into building a successful OT cybersecurity career while helping protect the systems that power modern society.
