    Can We Get Serious About Cybersecurity Now?

    Damon Small, a technical director at the cybersecurity firm NCC Group, discusses the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack and the broader implications for critical infrastructure security. He explains how the breach of a billing IT system, rather than operational technology (OT), forced a shutdown due to federal regulations requiring a bill of lading, highlighting the dangerous convergence of IT and OT. Small argues that cybersecurity must be viewed as a business enabler rather than a cost center and calls for stricter government regulation to compel organizations to protect their information assets.
