Show Notes
Megan Samford is the first woman Chief Product Security Officer in industrial control systems (ICS) manufacturing. She's spent time in both the private and public sectors, from Rockwell Automation and General Electric to serving two governors of Virginia and their offices of homeland security. She is also spearheading a project to develop a common language and framework for cyber security between governments, private sector and first responders in the space. Or, as she puts it: "I believe that every other type of responder in the world, whether you're a firefighter or a police officer, or a medic...there is a framework by which you could literally be picked up an airlifted and dropped into another organization or locality or state or government really, and you would seemingly know how to fall in line with the common framework to respond alongside your peers. But within cyber, it's very schizophrenic, it's very disparate, and it's largely based on the needs of individual companies."
