Seeing the Invisible: Asset Discovery, Segmentation, and the Reality of OT Security

Episode notes

In this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth , host Paul Ducklin is joined by Shane Fry, CTO of RunSafe Security, and Andrew McPhee, Solutions Manager for Industrial Security at Cisco, to examine why visibility is one of the biggest challenges in OT cybersecurity. As industrial environments become more connected, organizations are struggling to identify unknown assets, understand hidden dependencies, and secure systems that were never designed with cybersecurity in mind. McPhee explains how attackers exploit these blind spots, why traditional IT security approaches often fall short in OT environments, and how visibility and segmentation can help reduce risk.
