Most people have never heard of insect agriculture. By the end of this episode, you’ll wonder how you missed it.
Bites & Bytes Podcast host Kristin King sits down with Dr. Heather Jordan, microbiologist, professor at Mississippi State University, and site director for the NSF-funded Center for Insect Biomanufacturing and Innovation (CIBI), and Cheryl Preyer, the center’s industry liaison and former fast food executive, to unpack one of the most quietly consequential shifts happening in the global food system right now.
For consumers, this is where your food waste is going next and why that matters for everything from the fish on your plate to the cost of your groceries. Black soldier fly, cricket, and mealworm farming aren’t science fiction. They’re converting food waste into high-quality livestock feed, fertilizer, and protein at scale. Research is even showing promise in using these insects to remove plastics, antibiotics, and heavy metals from our environment.
For professionals in cyber-physical risk, OT security, and food and agriculture cybersecurity, pay attention. Insect agriculture facilities are automated, sensor-dependent production environments with real operational technology vulnerabilities, and this industry is scaling fast with limited security frameworks in place (aka a factory)
This is the circular bioeconomy in action. And it already exists.

Cybersecurity isn’t just about technology - it’s about people.

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow sits down with Sean Tufts for a conversation that goes far beyond tools and tactics. From the locker room to control rooms, Sean shares how his journey from professional football to OT cybersecurity shaped his approach to trust, teamwork, and leadership.

Together, they unpack one of the biggest challenges in OT environments: building trust between IT and OT teams. Because without trust, even the best tools fail.

You’ll learn:

Why trust is the foundation of OT cybersecurity success

How to bridge the gap between IT teams and engineers

The role of communication and empathy in security programs

Real-world lessons from segmentation failures and hidden network risks

Why diversity and teamwork drive stronger security outcomes

How leadership mindset shapes resilience in high-stakes environments

Whether you’re leading cybersecurity, working in OT environments, or building cross-functional teams, this episode delivers practical insights on the human side of security—where real progress happens.

Tune in to learn why the strongest cybersecurity programs are built on people, not just platforms only on Protect It All.

(Presented by TLPBLACK: A cybersecurity intelligence platform focused on sharing curated, high-sensitivity threat insights and research with trusted security professionals.)

Three Buddy Problem - Episode 96: We're joined by WIRED writer Andy Greenberg to dig into SentinelLabs' bombshell FAST16 research, a newly deciphered piece of sabotage malware that predates Stuxnet by five years and quietly tampered with physics modeling software likely tied to Iran's nuclear program.

We discuss the attribution rabbit hole (NSA? Israel? someone else?), the eerie "spiritual warfare" implications of corrupting scientific calculations, and Antiy Labs' very dialectical Chinese rebuttal. Plus, what AI reverse-engineering means for the next decade of cyber paleontology.

Cast: Andy Greenberg, Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, Ryan Naraine and Costin Raiu.
