Transcript

What are some of the fundamental problems you guys are seeing within organizations today aside from just, you know, how things have changed, but what are some of the challenges that you guys are here or what Better yet, what's keeping you up at night? Matthew still kind of got, I've got you on my camera. So if you wouldn't mind start us off on that. And I mean, if you don't, if you don't want to say what's really keeping you up at night, give us a lesser version of that. Yeah, I'll give you the the manufacturing lens version, right. So in, in my opinion across most manufacturing companies, legacy systems are going to be something that's at the forefront lack of visibility into your network understanding was actually causing. Lack of visibility. There's a cultural gap. Most of the folks that work in manufacturing have this opinion that. They don't need the Internet to be able to do their jobs efficiently because we're producing a product and a product doesn't have to be online. It's been manufactured. It's some companies for years. I think technology enables, you know, the business to operate and be innovative, however some folks feel like it's it's not necessary. And then also there's reset resource constraints inside of manufacturing that keep if you don't have the the the team build out their support OTORIT in the in the right manner, then. You're not gonna be able to to solve the problems efficiently. Appreciate that. Thank you. Chris, what about you? What, what's kind of what's keeping you up at night or what are you hearing others that are kind of sleep deprived about? Yeah. So I, I mean, I would agree with everything that Matthew said. Those are those are fundamental problems. They're they're problems that I see people struggling with basic visibility and just awareness and things like that. I think one of the other things I'll just kind of add to that is, and again, this is kind of from my view of where. Um programs are evolving and and companies are getting more serious about OT security is. Because there's that gap, as we've mentioned, like the the IT and OT teams have very different priorities and and views of the world. I think there's also struggle of. Sometimes bridging that gap and understanding like, well, if if I'm going to, you know, I'm used to let's say I'm a AC cell and my team is used to modern IT environment. Well. If I've got to now monitor the OT environment, I really don't know about that. Like, can I do this? Can I not? And so there's also this struggle going on just in terms of like an organizational perspective of like, how do we really do this? How do we leverage the best for my OT teams and my IT teams? How do I bring them together? And make sure like I have the fun even even understanding what the fundamental visibility is, you know, takes input from those groups. Umm. And then obviously things as Matthew mentioned with legacy technology that sometimes makes it more difficult. It's not as convenient as you how you do with the modern operating system or modern equipment. OK. Appreciate that. I'm going to come back around the legacy because I I want to, I want to. I don't know beat on that one for a minute, but Florian, what about you? What's keeping you up at night? I think similarly I would, I would concur with everything that has been said. What's notion that maybe comes to mind also pretty early is this admission of assets, inventory, knowing what's in the network, what's on the site. And often we go on a site and they say, yeah, we this is the list. We have the next sale of, I don't know, 100 or 150 devices. And within a couple of hours you realize that 20 or 30% more is actually on the network and you have different ships and so on. So I think really this notion of knowing what's in there. And what other behaviors which ties a bit to the visibility is is often what I hear as the first one. And the second one, second point that I think is interesting is, is around the the need from operation to deploy the technologies. And, and how those technologies live in the same world where you have a latest kind of Kuka robot with the latest advancement and and connectivity and on the other side you have a legal. To systems and how you structure the, the connection between them, the gaps and so on and the, and the age of just putting them on the same Dylan because they're the same assets is not really relevant anymore. So I think that's kind of the second step of the problem is knowing what's in there and then for when we move forward, how we build these more agile view or more dynamic networks anyway.

Does your cyber spend meet needs? Are you challenged explaining how cybersecurity aligns with enterprise risk? Then join me on 4 December in a fireside chat with this stellar gang: Christopher Hetner, Dominique Shelton Leipzig and Kumar Dasani. Nearly 40% of leaders surveyed by the World Economic Forum believe that cyber attacks represent a paramount global risk. However, many organizations remain mired in Gen 1.0 cyber thinking: that cybersecurity is exclusively an "IT problem" or, worse, that cyber won’t strike. Change is coming fast from many quarters. Actionable data needs to flow to the board and C-Suite on how risks specifically may impact an organization's business, operations, reputation, finances, and resilience. We're going to talk all this through on the 4th, so be sure to join us! Red Sift
