## Summary

Galina Antova, Co-Founder of Claroty, explains why IT security tools fail in operational technology (OT) environments due to legacy devices, proprietary protocols, and uptime requirements, creating a 'perfect storm' for cyberattacks. She details how Claroty was founded after identifying a gap in visibility for critical infrastructure, leveraging her experience at Siemens and co-founders from Israel's Unit 8200. Antova discusses scaling the company to 200 employees and $100M in funding, leading through the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, and advocating for diverse leadership by calling out unconscious bias in male-dominated industries.
