It's Control System Integrity not just OT Cybersecurity

Many manufacturers don't realize that an investment in OT Cybersecurity also enhances Control System Integrity.

In this rewind episode, Craig and Dino dig into why so many OT intrusion detection platforms get installed but never become truly operational.

They address what gets lost when IT owns the tool while OT owns the equipment, and why the word “cybersecurity” itself can stall progress the moment it lands on the plant floor.

They land on a question every CISO, plant leader, and engineering director should be asking right now: who at your sites actually knows how to use the tools you have already paid for, and how do you bring the OT ecosystem into the room before the next outage forces you to?
