Dale Peterson interviews acting CISA Director Nick Andersen. They briefly begin with the impact of the personnel changes at CISA, both at the leadership level and widespread exodus of anyone involved in OT. What are the plans for the rebuild of OT capabilities.
The bulk of the discussion is on the need, implementation, and metrics related to CISA's ruthless prioritization of efforts and resources. What CISA and US critical infrastructure must do, and what they won't have the resources to do.

In this bonus episode, Bryson Bort sits down with Andrea Haddad, a leader in technology and infrastructure architecture. Andrea has almost two decades of global experience across infrastructure, including network operations, enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, and cloud strategy. After beginning her career on the IT side, Andrea now specializes in building secure, scalable, and resilient digital foundations. She takes Bryson through her transition from IT to OT, segmentation in the real world, and why the future of manufacturing depends on both better architectures—and better intentions.

What are the unique security challenges of a manufacturing environment? What are the best - and worst case scenarios for manufacturing and cyber conflict? And what’s the secret to overcoming cultural differences between IT and OT?

“In our industry, our main concern is protecting…. In people, protecting production, protecting society, environment. So we can work all day long to come up with new architecture, new ideas. But if there's another hacker that wants to hack into the organization, he's going to always find a way. So the magic wand, to be honest, would be just simply kindness,” Andrea said.

Ric Derbyshire, a Principal Security Researcher at Orange Cyberdefense and an Honorary Researcher at Imperial College London, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss how attackers are able to gain lateral movement across operational technology (OT) assets through a tactic known as Living Off the Plant.
Similar to Living-off-the-Land attacks, Living-Off-the-Plant TTPs leverage native functionality specific to OT, with a potential negative impact on physical assets and safety concerns.
