Three veterans of critical infrastructure security trace how the field went from arguing that infrastructure was even a target to treating digital risk as an engineering hazard. Ginger Wright, Sarah Freeman, and Marc Sachs define cyber-informed engineering in plain terms, share real examples of consequences engineered out of a system, explain why adversaries already read your engineering documentation, and make the case that engineers don't need to become hackers to belong in this conversation. They close with why engineers should come to Level Zero.
Guests: Sarah Freeman (MITRE); Marc Sachs (Center for Internet Security) Host / moderator: Ginger Wright (Idaho National Laboratory)
Chapters: 00:00 Welcome and panel introductions 02:52 Why engineering is up first at Level Zero 04:24 From 'not a target' to target du jour 08:03 Y2K to WannaCry: when the OT/IT boundary became fiction 12:28 Engineering out the consequence (NIST 800-82 Rev. 3) 14:31 Why engineers belong at the table 19:01 Digital risk and defining CIE / CCE 22:13 Real examples of designed-out consequences 28:34 Where CIE runs into regulation 32:40 Engineer pushback and 'fighting the scenario' 37:01 Digital risk is just another hazard 40:01 The five whys, and why come to Level Zero
Recorded at the CS²AI Online Symposium, "Level Zero: Visions & Reflections."
Join us at Level Zero 2027, April 23–30 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta: pre-conference training, the Conflag Zero™ tabletop exercise, and three days of practitioner-led sessions built so you can put what you learn to work the Monday you get back.

A wireless engineer sat in a parking lot, connected to a plant's crane anti-collision network, and had everything he needed to stop the cranes inside 20 minutes. Nobody inside the fence ever knew he was there.

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow talks with Scott McNeil, Industrial Network and Security Architect II at Global Process Automation (GPA), about the part of the OT network most plants never look at: the airspace. Scott has spent more than 20 years in networking and wireless, the last ten of them entirely in OT, and he sits in the integrator's seat, working across every manufacturer's gear without a product to sell.

The conversation starts where most plants actually are: one flat network, off the shelf gear on the floor, and no budget. Scott's argument is that the low hanging fruit costs time and effort, not money, and that a stable network is the foundation for everything security asks for later: segmentation, inventory, monitoring, then a firewall between OT and IT. He walks through war driving your own plant, why a hidden SSID is not security, the wild west of industrial wireless protocols, wireless that was abandoned in power plants years ago and is still on the air, and where wireless earns its place.

The second half is about vendors and access. Do not take the vendor's word for it, ask the questions before the gear ships, and treat every third party connection as your own exposure. Scott's rule for remote access is simple: this is my house, vendors connect on my terms, every session logged, with an approve or deny button before anyone gets in. Aaron adds the zip tie in the fan story, a backup switch that had silently failed months earlier and nobody knew until monitoring went on, and the two close on shrinking the wireless footprint that leaves your site and on Scott's podcast, The Industrial Wi-Fi Shop.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why a stable network comes before any security project, and what to fix first

How to war drive your own plant and what a passive scan of your airspace tells an attacker

Why hiding the SSID and relying on obscurity is not a control

Which industrial wireless protocols are standards based and which are proprietary risk

The questions to ask a wireless vendor before you sign

How to run vendor remote access on your terms: logged sessions, approve or deny, no standing tunnels

Why monitoring finds failures you did not know you had

Tune in to hear why your industrial airspace deserves the same design, monitoring, and ownership as any wired connection.

About the guest:

Scott McNeil is an Industrial Network and Security Architect II at Global Process Automation (GPA), where he helps manufacturers design, secure, and modernize the OT networks that keep critical processes running: architecture, IT/OT convergence, segmentation, resilient connectivity, and industrial wireless. A longtime wireless engineer, he created and co-hosts The Industrial WiFi Shop Podcast with Jeremy Baker, speaks regularly at OT and industrial cybersecurity events, holds a bachelor's degree in Industrial Technology from East Carolina University with multiple wireless and network certifications, and serves on the UNC Wilmington Cybersecurity Advisory Board.

What does a 30-year-old timekeeping protocol have to do with taking down a phone network? 
In this episode of the mnemonic security podcast, Robby welcomes OT security specialist Mikael Vingaard back to the podcast to share some war stories from the world of industrial security. 
They start off talking about the Network Time Protocol (NTP), a decades-old protocol that still plays a fundamental role in keeping systems synchronised. Mikael shares the story of how renting three servers in Albania accidentally made him one of the country's main sources of NTP traffic, and how shutting them down disrupted an ISP's IP telephony. They discuss what the story reveals about dependencies we may not even know exist, and what incorrect time can mean for industrial systems.
They also explore configuration drift in OT environments, where small and often undocumented changes accumulate over long device lifecycles. Mikael shares findings from passive network assessments, including supposedly air-gapped networks that turned out to be connected and discusses how periodic verification can help organisations understand what is actually running in their environments.
Finally, they discuss approaches to securely scanning OT environments, testing guardrails around AI and Denmark's push for digital sovereignty.

Safety starts with a goal. So should cybersecurity.
Craig Duckworth sits down with Shankar Somasundaram, CEO of Asimily and former head of Symantec's IoT business, to explain why plant floor cybersecurity is a safety issue, not an IT expense. They cover why industrial cybersecurity programs stall after the tool is purchased, how to start with a goal instead of a solution, and why fixing the biggest risks first beats trying to secure everything at once.
The conversation also covers network segmentation mistakes, AI as both a helper and a new threat to critical infrastructure, protecting legacy OT and IoT equipment without disrupting production, watching traffic inside the plant, what drives cybersecurity maturity, and what OT security market consolidation means for manufacturers.
Shankar's three takeaways for your next budget cycle:
Cyber risk is safety risk
Start with the goal
Visibility and fixing the problem are one program, not two

Chapters:

(00:06:20) Start with a goal, not a solution
(00:09:20) Exposure management and the segmentation myths that slow teams down
(00:11:45) AI as enabler and attacker inside critical infrastructure
(00:15:40) Collecting data on legacy OT and IoT without disrupting operations
(00:18:20) North south, east west, and the flow data most teams skip
(00:20:00) Does maturity come from size, budget, or management
(00:24:20) Consolidation in the OT market and the advice Shankar leaves behind
