What this episode covers

Michael Murray, SVP and GM of Cyber-Physical Systems at BlackRidge Technology, explains the distinction between standard cybersecurity and cyber-physical security, emphasizing that physical safety is now integral to digital security. He details BlackRidge's proactive approach using their TAC ID hardware and software to create authenticated identities for IoT devices, contrasting this with reactive industry standards. Murray discusses the economic asymmetry of IoT attacks, the collision of IT and OT networks, and the shared responsibility model involving manufacturers, consumers, and insurers.

    Cybersecurity Mini-Series: ICS Product Security & Standards (ISA/IEC 62443) (Ep. 4 of 4)

    Megan Samford, Product Safety and Security Director, and Shoshana Wodzisz, Global Product Security Leader, both at Rockwell Automation, discuss the specifics of IEC 62443, the global standard for industrial control system (ICS) cybersecurity. They explain why ICS security is a distinct niche within critical infrastructure, emphasizing that consequences of failure involve safety and physical integrity rather than just financial loss. The guests highlight the importance of third-party certification over self-certification and detail how Rockwell uses the standard to ensure secure product development and sourcing for asset owners.

    Cybersecurity Mini-Series: Why Security Matters (Ep. 1 of 4)

    Steve Ludwig, Program Manager for Safety & Security at Rockwell Automation, explains why cybersecurity is a critical component of digital transformation for industrial manufacturers, emphasizing that security protects assets, workers, and the environment, not just data. He details the convergence of IT and OT, noting that while IT allows for easy patching, OT requires scheduled downtime and careful planning to avoid disrupting physical processes. Ludwig highlights that most breaches are opportunistic rather than targeted, with over 40% of attacks originating from insiders, and stresses the importance of integrating safety and security standards to mitigate risks like equipment damage or environmental harm.
