Bridging the Gap: Cybersecurity and Networking in Industrial Automation
In this episode of "Industrial Automation - It Doesn't Have To...", we delve into the critical intersection of cybersecurity and networking, essential components in today's industrial landscape.🛡️
Who better to navigate this complex terrain than Siemens' Industrial Network Consultant for the Southeast Region, Kyle Frederick? With seven years of experience under his belt, Kyle is a seasoned expert in cybersecurity and networking, making him the perfect guide for this discussion.
Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) are networks that operate under conflicting philosophies, posing unique challenges. What gets a production or controls engineer fired is not the same thing that gets an IT admin fired. They have different sets of priorities - but they don't need to disagree.🤝
As cyberattacks and ransomware threats continue to proliferate, malicious actors have begun targeting OT systems with alarming frequency. But fear not, as this episode unveils the arsenal of tools at OT's disposal to complement IT strategies and fortify defenses against evolving threats.🔒
🎧Tune in to discover the strategies and technologies empowering OT and IT collaboration in the ongoing battle against cyber adversaries.
