The joint CISA, FBI, Department of War, Department of Energy, and Department of State briefing on adapting Zero Trust to operational technology landed on April 29. Has OT leadership read it?
In this episode, Craig and Dino address how the European Cyber Resilience Act is quietly forcing US plants into failed audits, why IT teams still see less than a third of OT assets, how EDR tools are taking down $100K-an-hour packaging lines, and why only a handful of integrators in North America have a real OT cybersecurity practice.
They walk through what zero trust and micro-segmentation actually look like inside a 20-year-old plant with flat layer-two networks, DLR rings, jump boxes, and Cradlepoint workarounds, and lay out the first concrete move every CISO and CIO should make to start closing the IT/OT gap.

Kenny Mesker, OT Cybersecurity Strategist and Distinguished Engineer at Chevron, joins Derek Harp to share his remarkable journey from growing up on a farm in West Texas to becoming one of the industry's leading voices in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity.
With more than 30 years of experience spanning electric utilities, SCADA systems, industrial control systems, and cybersecurity, Kenny reflects on the evolution of OT security from the days of air-gapped networks to today's interconnected digital environments. He discusses how a passion for problem-solving led him from electrical engineering into industrial operations and ultimately into cybersecurity strategy.
Kenny offers practical advice for professionals looking to enter the OT cybersecurity field, explaining why hands-on operational experience remains one of the most valuable foundations for success. He also explores the challenges of IT/OT convergence, the importance of risk assessment, and how cybersecurity leaders must think beyond individual systems to protect entire organizations and critical infrastructure.
Looking ahead, Kenny shares his perspective on artificial intelligence, cloud technologies, and the future of OT architectures, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges these emerging technologies will bring to industrial environments.
Whether you're an engineer, cybersecurity professional, student, or industry leader, this episode provides valuable insights into building a successful OT cybersecurity career while helping protect the systems that power modern society.

אחד הנושאים היותר מאתגרים למנהל אבטחת מידע בארגון הוא בחירת טכנולוגיות הגנת סייבר, מאות מוצרים שלכל אחד מהם השטיק שלו, ברושורים ומצגות על כך שהמוצר עושה הכול כולל קפה

נוסיף את העובדה שאנשי אבטחת מידע נמצאים תמיד תחת הצף וקשה להם לבדוק מגוון טכנולוגיות ולכן הם נאלצים לקבל סוג של החלטה מושכלת ולבצע בדיקת יתכנות למוצר בודד ומאידך החשש מהחלפת טכנולוגיה מוטמעת במוצר חדש

נחשון פינקו מארח את יגאל גויטע מייסד ומנכ"ל ואת דור טוכמן סמנכ"ל הנדסה ופיתוח עסקי בסקאדה סודו, בשיחה על בכירה של טכנולוגיות סייבר בכובע היועץ, הצורך בהכרות עמוקה עם הצרכים של הלקוח לפני שבכלל ניגשים למציאת פתרונות והחשיבות של התאמת פתרון לצורך ולא צורך לפתרון

A major challenge for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) is choosing the right cybersecurity technologies. With hundreds of vendors touting unique value propositions and comprehensive solutions, the selection process becomes overwhelming. Security teams, often stretched thin, lack the bandwidth to assess multiple platforms at once. As a result, CISOs must make strategic choices and conduct a Proof of Concept (PoC) on a carefully chosen solution. On the other hand, there is apprehension about replacing an embedded, established technology with a new product.

Nachshon Pincu hosts Yigal Gueta, Founder & CEO, and Dor Tuchman, VP of Engineering & Business Development at SCADASudo, in a comprehensive discussion on evaluating cyber technologies from a consultant’s perspective. The conversation highlights the importance of thoroughly understanding client needs before engaging with vendors and stresses the necessity of aligning solutions with business requirements—rather than adapting cyber needs to fit a specific product.
