ABOUT THIS EPISODE
It has been quite the month for cybersecurity vulnerabilities, but is there more to it than the doom and gloom?
In this episode of OT After Hours, Ken Kully (Delivery Readiness at Rockwell Automation) is joined by Tyler Bergman (Manager, SecureOT Managed Services at Rockwell Automation) to discuss "Black October" and other scary cybersecurity stories.
Key Takeaways
- Automation Fair And SecureOT Platform: Rockwell's Automation Fair in happening in Boston from November 16–19, 2026; it's a broad showcase of Rockwell Automation technologies, partners, robotics, educational efforts, and the SecureOT Platform.
- Physical Security In Industrial Facilities: Can you envision walking into a gas plant unnoticed and finding a decommissioned control room containing powered-on workstations? Physical security is still an important OT control!
- PHP Vulnerability And Availability Risk: Of course, we had to discuss the recent PHP vulnerability. Thus far, observed exploitation doesn't seem to quite match the fear and hype around "Black October," but it's good to be vigilant.
- Embedded Software And SBOM Management: PHP vulnerabilities may affect applications indirectly through embedded web servers or bundled components, making software-bill-of-materials visibility, vendor coordination, and dependency management necessary for accurate exposure assessment.
- AI-Accelerated Cybersecurity Arms Race: If "Black October" showed anything, it is that AI is an accelerator for both attackers and defenders, leading to faster vulnerability discovery and exploit development. OT cybersecurity teams will need to become more proactive about legacy assets and maintenance.
