And when something breaks, who's accountable?In this episode, Craig and Dino tackle a question most manufacturing organizations still haven't answered.They address why CISOs are often handed responsibility for OT security without the authority to act on it, and how plants can score "green" on a compliance dashboard while remaining blind to 80% of their actual assets.They also dig into the role OEMs and system integrators should be playing in building security into project proposals from day one, and why most still aren't.From virtual patching for legacy systems that can't be touched, to the fast-growing OT security market, this is a grounded conversation for plant leaders, engineers, and security teams trying to close the gap between IT and OT.Chapters:(00:00:00) - Who Really Owns OT Cybersecurity?(00:02:00) - Asset Owners Bear the Ultimate Responsibility(00:04:00) - Responsibility Without Authority: The CISO's Dilemma(00:06:00) - Why OEMs and SIs Aren't Including Cybersecurity in Their Proposals(00:08:00) - The False Sense of Security Driving Dangerous Blind Spots(00:10:00) - How Organizations Claim "Green" While Missing 80% of Their Assets(00:13:00) - Half Measures vs. a Real OT Cybersecurity Strategy(00:16:00) - The Growing OT Security Market and Why Some Still Aren't Paying Attention(00:18:00) - Incident Response Drills and AI Accelerating the Threat Landscape(00:20:00) - Breaking Down the IT/OT Trust Barrier for GoodLinks And Resources:Want to Sponsor an episode or be a Guest?
