They uncover what’s really happening inside OT networks long before a cyber incident hits the plant floor including why over 80% of adversary behavior occurs months before impact, why air‑gaps no longer provide real protection, and how legacy vulnerabilities continue to be actively exploited. As guest Adam Robbie puts it “OT security is no longer a hidden problem — it’s a visibility problem.” This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating IT/OT convergence, looking for ways to improve industrial defenses, or preparing for emerging cyber risks. The insights come directly from a new white paper supported by a commercial and research partnership between Palo Alto Networks and Siemens, together with Idaho National Labs as the third-party research partner. Show Notes:Research Paper (S4 Conference): Intelligence-Driven Active Defense Report 2026 (https://sie.ag/416Tgm)Website (Palo Alto): OT Security Insights 2025 (https://sie.ag/2ZcgDY)Website (US Department of Energy): Cybersecurity for the Operational Technology Environment (https://sie.ag/5p9z6a)Website (Siemens): Industrial cybersecurity solutions | Siemens (https://sie.ag/4HJ8L4) Contact us:Adam Robbie email ([email protected]), LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamrobbie/)Tilo Pinkert email ([email protected]), LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tilopinkert/)Priyanjan Sharma email ([email protected]), LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/priyanjansharma/)  Don Mack email ([email protected])Jonas Norinder email ([email protected])The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Siemens, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.
