Working as a CIO and the challenges of endpoint security| Guest Tom Molden

Today on Cyber Work, our deep-dive into manufacturing and operational technology (OT) cybersecurity brings us to the problem of endpoint security. Tom Molden, CIO of Global Executive Engagement at Tanium, has been grappling with these problems for a while. We talk about his early, formative tech experiences (pre-Windows operation system!), his transformational position moving from fiscal strategy and implementation into his first time as chief information officer and talk through the interlocking problems that come from connected manufacturing devices and the specific benefits and challenges to be found in strategizing around the endpoints.
