Jake Braun, cofounder of DEF CON Franklin and former White House acting Principal Deputy National Cyber Director, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss cybersecurity for water and wastewater utilities. 
DEF CON Franklin is a volunteer-driven program that connects security researchers and hackers associated with the DEF CON conference with U.S.-based water wastewater utilities and K-12 schools. This summer at DEF CON, DEF CON Franklin and the National Rural Water Association announced the Water Watch Center, which provides support to water utilities in the event of a breach. 
Jake explains how both initiatives are progressing, the cybersecurity challenges smaller water utilities face, and what the government can do to help from a policy and regulatory standpoint.

Your plant has monitoring tools. But is anyone watching what they find?
Dino Busalachi sits down with Justin Carlson, Chief Strategy Officer at Kasm, to talk about one of the biggest challenges in manufacturing cybersecurity: a shrinking pool of people who understand both the plant floor and security. They explore when managed services make sense, what decisions should always stay with your own team, and why buying more tools is not enough.
The conversation also covers consolidating remote access into a single controlled entry point, keeping vendors and integrators aligned, protecting legacy systems without disrupting production, and funding OT cybersecurity through capital projects so security becomes part of the work instead of an unplanned expense.
For CISOs, CIOs, plant managers, and engineering leaders, the takeaway is practical: know what is in your environment, keep that inventory current, and use your next plant project to become more secure.
Industrial Cybersecurity Insider brings practical conversations on securing manufacturing and critical infrastructure.

From Army Engineer to Critical Infrastructure Security with Marcus Sachs
Marcus Sachs, SVP and Chief Engineer at the Center for Internet Security, joins Derek Harp for a long-overdue conversation about how a civil engineer in the Army ended up securing critical infrastructure. Marcus traces his path from an unusual start across Alabama, Pakistan and Germany, through ROTC and the Army Engineers, to the events of the mid-1990s that gave rise to the formal term "critical infrastructure." He explains what Y2K taught the military about inventory and interdependencies, how far OT security has come since SCADA was the term of art, and the advice he would give people entering the field today. They close with the Enigma machines he brings to Level Zero and why technology alone never covers all the bases.
Guest: Marcus Sachs, SVP and Chief Engineer, Center for Internet Security Host: Derek Harp, Founder and Chairman, (CS)²AI
Chapters: 00:42 Welcome and introducing Marcus Sachs 02:24 An unusual starting point: Alabama, Pakistan and Germany 05:53 ROTC, the Cold War and early hacking in Germany 09:30 Choosing engineering and the Army Engineers 14:59 Fort Belvoir: staying behind to fix things 20:00 Physics, culture and new technology in OT 22:48 From civil engineering to cyberspace 27:31 Oklahoma City, PDD 63 and critical infrastructure 31:00 The 1998 intrusion, Y2K and the great inventory 35:48 How far OT security has come 40:51 Crossing paths: a Navy flagship and Haiti 42:34 Advice for people entering the field 51:20 Enigma machines and mechanical encryption 54:39 People, process and technology: the work never ends 56:36 Closing thoughts and thanks

Recently, the conversation in industrial cybersecurity has shifted from detection to response. The onset of faster-moving and easier to scale attacks driven by AI makes detection significantly more difficult, and faced with limited resources, it’s easy to understand why many are embracing the mantra of “it’s not if, but when you’re attacked” and allocating more time and money to their response capabilities. 
However, this episode's guest offers some insight on the flaws of downplaying the detection element of cybersecurity. Chris Nyhuis is the Co-Founder and CEO of Vigilant. Listen as he offers perspective on: 
• Establishing priorities and applying them to tactics like segmentation when addressing the expanding threat landscape. 
• What data flow can tell you about soft spots on your network. • Why detection is so critical in not only developing strategies for your response, but in understanding the right ways to respond. 
• How the right detection tools can help minimize the impacts of breaches that often result from dwelling, or living-off-the-land attacks. 
• And, or course, the best ways to leverage AI in developing and implementing cybersecurity strategies.

If there’s one area where the old adage of “you have to see it to believe it” might not resonate as strongly, it’s OT cybersecurity. I say this because one of the biggest challenges for our sector continues to be visibility. 
Although it’s clearly one of those blocking and tackling-type elements, identifying and securing all our assets, endpoints, connections and devices is tough. And not only do we know this – so do the bad guys, and they’re continuing to find new and creative ways to leverage these defensive soft spots in stealing data, extorting funds and shutting down operations. 
That’s why I was excited to bring in this episode's guest. Mitch Densley is a Principle Solutions Architect for Opengear. Watch/listen as we discuss:
Avoiding the temptation to "fix the engine while the airplane is flying" when it comes to network patching.
Why reliability and resiliency need to be treated like a "first class citizen" instead of being relegated to lower priorities.
Using AI to negate some of industrial cybersecurity's lacking resources.
The tools and strategies widely available to help manufacturers get a better vantage point of the expanding threat landscape - on their network and with OT assets.
Identifying and managing network vulnerabilities stemming from legacy infrastructure.
