This is a topic that impacts every sector of manufacturing and critical infrastructure, yet many organizations still struggle with where to start, how to assess risk, and how to balance IT and OT responsibilities.Gavin brings decades of experience in automation engineering and cybersecurity, having worked across energy, oil and gas, water, and manufacturing. He shares his unique journey from being an operator and control systems engineer to becoming a specialist in OT cybersecurity. The conversation spans a wide range of issues, from asset inventory and managed switches to people, process, and technology frameworks that help organizations take the first step toward maturity.We discuss why IT and OT teams often clash and what it takes to bridge the gap. Gavin explains the realities of budgets, the challenges of compliance, and why self-reporting frameworks often fail to reflect true maturity. He also highlights the role of legislation in Europe, rising insurance premiums, and how cybersecurity assessments can influence financial and strategic decisions at the executive level.The episode provides clear insights into best practices such as building a proper asset inventory, structuring security awareness training for OT teams, and applying a risk-based approach to patch management. Gavin also outlines the importance of functional safety, process hazard analysis, and the role of frameworks like ISA/IEC 62443. For engineers, leaders, and decision makers, this conversation makes it clear that cybersecurity is not just a technology problem but a people and process challenge that requires long term discipline and investment.If you want to understand what real world OT cybersecurity looks like, what mistakes to avoid, and how to set a path toward resilience, this episode is packed with valuable...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yoKAvzBXZ3YjQTekFk7KFGXeuwJ29WgXvop3dVEfhLs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE3MjEzLzE2MDk0/MzA1OTgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
