Today on Cyber Work, we are talking operational technology, or OT, security with guest, Robin Berthier of Network Perception. From his earliest studies to his time as an academic researcher, Berthier has dedicated his career to securing the intersection between operational technology and network security, with some pretty imaginative solutions to show for it. In today’s episode, Berthier explains why modern OT security means thinking more about the mechanics of the machinery than the swiftness of the software solutions, the big conversation that infrastructure and ICS Security need to have about nation-state attackers (and finally are having!) and Berthier's best piece of career advice turns into some excellent thoughts on the importance of maintaining your network… and I don’t mean routing and switching!
