## Summary

Greg Murphy, CEO of Ordr, discusses the critical challenges of securing the billions of agentless IoT devices in enterprise environments. He explains that traditional IT security tools fail because many IoT devices run outdated operating systems and cannot support security agents, creating massive visibility gaps. Murphy highlights the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack as a wake-up call for the industry and emphasizes that the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is ultimately responsible for securing both IT and OT assets. He advises organizations to prioritize network visibility and behavioral analysis to detect anomalies in devices like MRI machines or access control gates.
