As the conflict with Iran evolves, cyber capabilities are proving just as consequential as traditional military force. This week, Elisa sits down with Matt Suiche, founder of OnDB and a former hacker, to examine how cyber operations shape intelligence gathering, targeting, and real-time decision-making in modern conflict. Together, they explore the vulnerabilities of AI systems, the physical risks to critical infrastructure like data centers and undersea cables, and what these emerging threats reveal about the limits of technology in high-stakes warfare.
Matt Suiche is a cybersecurity researcher and founder of OnDB Inc., a data infrastructure startup for the agentic economy.

Craig Duckworth sits down with CIO and Chief Enterprise Architect Shellie D'Angelo to address why so many OT and IT modernization efforts stall out at the foundation.
Shellie explains why data governance must come before “another tool,” how inconsistent data quality quietly sabotages reporting and risk decisions, and why leadership transparency is the fastest path to maturity.
Craig and Shellie also explore the reality of shadow IT on the plant floor, the growing impact of AI as both a defensive advantage and an attacker accelerator, and the practical steps teams can take to move from reactive chaos to measurable business outcomes.
Chapters:
(00:00:00) Why honest risk conversations are the starting line
(00:01:00) Shellie’s background: rebuilding enterprise tech foundations
(00:02:00) OT/IT convergence: start with business drivers and data governance
(00:05:00) “Tools first” vs business-first security decisions
(00:08:00) Knowing what you have before buying more tools
(00:11:00) How far along are most organizations, really?
(00:15:00) AI as a double-edged sword: defense vs attacker acceleration
(00:18:00) Where to start: inventory first vs governance structure
(00:22:00) OT tech is often easier prey: PLCs, HMI/SCADA, cameras
(00:25:00) Partnering vs going it alone: don’t reinvent the wheel
(00:26:00) Tech debt and why technology can’t be an afterthought
(00:29:00) Governance should increase speed, not slow it down
(00:30:00) Final advice: “turn chaos into cash” and own your impact

In Episode 63, we conclude a two‑part series on cybersecurity by shifting from research insights to real‑world operational experience. Building on the findings from the recently released Intelligence‑Driven Active Defense Report 2026, this episode focuses on what those findings mean on the plant floor. We are joined by Marco Ayala, a long‑time cybersecurity practitioner with extensive experience across the process industries. Marco also serves as President of InfraGard’s Houston Chapter and National Sector Chief for Energy, offering a unique perspective at the intersection of industry and critical infrastructure protection.

The group explores what OT teams are dealing with day to day, where common cybersecurity blind spots exist, and how IT/OT convergence is creating new challenges. They also examine the current of OT defenses, why gaps persist, and what practical first steps organizations can take to strengthen their cybersecurity posture. The episode wraps up with actionable takeaways aimed at helping listeners better understand today’s threat landscape and take meaningful steps toward improving the resilience of their operations.
