Rethinking IT and OT - Lessons from Colonial Pipeline and Other Cyber Incidents

In this episode, host Aaron Crow tackles the ongoing debate of IT versus OT attacks, using the example of the Colonial Pipeline incident and others to illustrate his point. Aaron argues that focusing on whether an attack is an IT or OT issue misses the bigger picture - the real impact on operations.  Through engaging stories and industry insights, Aaron emphasizes that asset owners ultimately care about operational continuity, revenue, safety, and risk management, rather than rigid definitions.  Join us as we explore why understanding the broader business risks is crucial and how organizations can better protect themselves in this evolving landscape.
