Securing AI and Digital Transformation with Schneider Electric

In this episode, Larry O'Brien speaks with Schneider Electric cybersecurity leaders Zakarya Drias and Nasir Mundh about the critical role of cybersecurity in enabling successful industrial digital transformation initiatives. The conversation explores Schneider Electric’s approach to helping industrial organizations assess cyber risk, develop cybersecurity roadmaps, implement governance and security controls, and operate resilient OT environments through managed security services. Cybersecurity must be designed into digital transformation programs from the beginning rather than treated as an afterthought, particularly as cloud computing, IT/OT convergence, artificial intelligence, and connected operations expand the industrial attack surface. The discussion also addresses the challenges of protecting legacy industrial assets while modernizing operations, the importance of lifecycle management and compensating controls, and how AI can augment cybersecurity capabilities while still requiring human oversight and risk management.Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?Do you have an intriguing or thought provoking topic you'd like to discuss on our podcast?
