Dino Busalachi sits down with Simon Chassar, former Chief Revenue Officer at Claroty and current OT cybersecurity advisor and investor, to explore the evolution and future of industrial cybersecurity.
Simon shares insights from his decade-long journey in the space, discussing how OT asset visibility has become commoditized and why the industry is experiencing two major shifts: moving right toward threat-led SOC services and perimeter protection, and moving left toward secure-by-design approaches and attack simulation.
They dive into the persistent challenge of self-performing versus partnering with specialized integrators, the critical skills shortage commanding 30-40% salary premiums, and why AI is both accelerating security challenges and offering new solutions.
Simon reveals how private equity firms are finally prioritizing OT cybersecurity at the board level, discusses the emerging OT SOC landscape, and explains why the traditional IT security budget model is failing operational technology environments.
The conversation addresses the disconnect between IT leadership and the OT ecosystem, the proliferation of unmanaged remote access technologies, and the urgent need for manufacturers to engage their trusted system integrators and OEMs as cybersecurity partners before the next major incident occurs.

Podcast: PrOTect It All (LS 27 · TOP 10% what is this?)

Cyberattacks don’t just test your systems - they test your preparedness.

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow breaks down key lessons from the Striker attack and what it reveals about today’s evolving threat landscape across IT and OT environments. From energy and healthcare to manufacturing systems, attackers are increasingly using sophisticated techniques like “living off the land” - blending into normal operations instead of deploying obvious malware.

Aaron takes this beyond theory, focusing on what organizations must do before an attack happens.

A major theme? Tabletop exercises. Not as a compliance activity - but as a critical tool for building real incident response readiness, improving team coordination, and exposing gaps that tools alone can’t catch.

You’ll learn:

What the Striker attack teaches about modern cyber warfare

How living-off-the-land tactics bypass traditional defenses

Why tabletop exercises are essential for real-world readiness

The role of threat hunting and collaboration across teams

How attackers exploit weaknesses in both IT and OT environments

Why small, consistent actions can dramatically improve resilience

Whether you’re defending critical infrastructure, leading a cyber team, or just starting your security journey, this episode delivers practical insights you can apply immediately.

Tune in to learn how to prepare before the next attack - not react after it - only on Protect It All.

Key Moments: 

04:59 "Modern Warfare: Cyber and Beyond"

08:47 "Security Risks of Remote Wipe"

10:31 "Living Off the Land Tactics"

13:11 "Balancing Power and Security"

19:12 "Vulnerabilities Demand Swift Action"

20:21 Prioritize Risk, Justify Investment

25:04 Practice Preparedness Before Crisis

26:48 Weak Links Threaten Cybersecurity

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.
