HD Moore is most famous for his creation of the Metasploit penetration testing framework. It began in 2003 and hit the OT world in 2011. HD is now the Founder and CTO of RunZero, another cybersecurity startup that is starting to play in the OT Space.
In this episode we spend the first third of the show talking about Metasploit ... early reaction, OT modules, is Metasploit still necessary and useful today.
We then shift to creating asset inventories in IT and OT, which is what RunZero does. Why HD decided to run back into the cybersecurity startup world?

Dale Peterson interviews acting CISA Director Nick Andersen. 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.
