ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Your plant has monitoring tools. But is anyone watching what they find?
Dino Busalachi sits down with Justin Carlson, Chief Strategy Officer at Kasm, to talk about one of the biggest challenges in manufacturing cybersecurity: a shrinking pool of people who understand both the plant floor and security. They explore when managed services make sense, what decisions should always stay with your own team, and why buying more tools is not enough.
The conversation also covers consolidating remote access into a single controlled entry point, keeping vendors and integrators aligned, protecting legacy systems without disrupting production, and funding OT cybersecurity through capital projects so security becomes part of the work instead of an unplanned expense.
For CISOs, CIOs, plant managers, and engineering leaders, the takeaway is practical: know what is in your environment, keep that inventory current, and use your next plant project to become more secure.
