Craig Duckworth and Jim Cook discuss the critical yet often overlooked topic of budgeting for operational technology (OT) cybersecurity.
Throughout their discussion, they address the challenges and necessities of securing funding from executive teams, framing the conversation around liability, risk management, and the dire need for strategic investment to safeguard critical infrastructure.
They highlight the nuanced divide between IT and OT responsibilities and emphasize the vital role of clear communication in making cybersecurity a top priority for corporate budgeting.
By exploring real-world scenarios and the potential consequences of neglecting cybersecurity in OT, this episode serves as a compelling call to action for organizations to reassess their approach to cybersecurity funding and strategy, ensuring they are adequately prepared to handle emerging threats in an increasingly connected world.
