Show Notes
Chris Blask has a long career bringing new ideas to reality. He currently is Vice President of Strategy at Cybeats, who has a SBOM Studio product. Cybeats is different in that SBOM Studio does not create SBOMs. This requires SBOMs to be available from somewhere, and Dale & Chris spend a lot of the podcast talking about the SBOM market today and in the future. What percentage of the OT software solutions have SBOMs today? What will that number be in three years, five years, seven years? When will the top 10% asset owners be able to be get value worth the effort from SBOMs and related tools and information? What will the SBOM marketplace look like? the DBOM.io project Of course being Dale and Chris, they deviate into a lot of other topics. Such as Chris's quotes: "Security comes through transparency and automation" "2020, this is the last decade of cybersecurity" "the last decade when entirely new fields will be discovered" I think we have covered the field.

They briefly begin with the impact of the personnel changes at CISA, both at the leadership level and widespread exodus of anyone involved in OT. What are the plans for the rebuild of OT capabilities. The bulk of the discussion is on the need, implementation, and metrics related to CISA's ruthless prioritization of efforts and resources. What CISA and US critical infrastructure must do, and what they won't have the resources to do.
It's great to have my friend Rob Lee back on the podcast. Rob and I discuss:
Few topics get as much heat as the current, future, and ideal relationship between OT and IT. One of the first posts someone just discovering OT makes is how OT is different than IT. As you dig deeper into OT you find an increasing case of the technology, processes, and even the people being similar to IT. In this 90 minute long conversation format, we will try to bring some enlightenment to this question with a specially curated group of 9 S4x25 attendees.
Dale Peterson discusses with Maggie how she got into OT security, her recent move to the Financial Sector, women in ICS security, and more.
