Show Notes

Series 2 – Episode 6!

This month’s brew takes a fresh look at the latest updates in IEC 62443-2-2:2025 — The standard that sets out requirements for industrial automation and control system security programs.

If that sounds a bit dry, don’t worry — we’re serving it up in plain English, with a dash of Dave & Chris -style "banter".

In this episode, we break down what’s new in the revised standard, why it matters, and how these changes impact organizations looking to strengthen their OT security posture. Key topics on tap this month include: What IEC 62443-2-2 actually covers and why it’s important

The most significant changes in the latest update

How these updates affect compliance and real-world implementation

So grab your favourite brew and join us as we try to make sense of the updates in the new IEC 62443-2-2:2025 — hopefully without the headache.

Series 3 - Episode 7 A step back in time to 11 December 2005. 06:01 in the morning. A series of explosions at the Buncefield oil storage depot near Hemel Hempstead shook the surrounding area. The blast could be heard up to 125 miles away and registered 2.4 on the Richter scale. In this episode of Cyber Brews, we explore the three questions posed by the UK Competent Authority following the Buncefield incident and consider how they can help organisations rethink their approach to cybersecurity: 🔹 Do we understand what can go wrong? 🔹 Do we know what systems are in place to prevent this happening? 🔹 Do we have information to assure ourselves that they are working effectively? These questions may sound straightforward, but they raise some important challenges for organisations responsible for critical infrastructure. We discuss how they apply to OT cyber risk assessments, security controls, organisational accountability and the evidence needed to demonstrate that cybersecurity measures are actually working. Because having firewalls, procedures and security policies in place is one thing. Understanding what could go wrong, knowing whether the right protections exist, and having evidence that they remain effective is another. Whether you're an OT engineer, cybersecurity professional, site owner or process safety specialist, join us as we explore how lessons from Buncefield can help us ask better questions about industrial cybersecurity. ☕ Grab a brew and join the conversation. Are we asking the right questions about OT cyber risk?

Series 3 - Episode 3! Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of the industrial cyber landscape but is it strengthening critical infrastructure, or introducing entirely new risks? In this episode we explore the growing relationship between AI and OT security, discussing how organisations are beginning to rely on AI-driven technologies within critical infrastructure environments.
