131: OT Monitoring & SOC and Incident Response — Lessons from the Field with Cambios Academy
<p>In this episode of the (CS)²AI Podcast, host Derek Harp is joined by Jonathan Pollet, Marc Visser, and Bryan Singer for a deep-dive Q&A discussion following CS2AI’s January 21st community event on OT Monitoring, SOC operations, and Incident Response. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience across industrial environments worldwide, the panel expands on questions that couldn’t be fully addressed during the live sessions.</p><p>The conversation explores why OT monitoring and SOC capabilities must come before incident response, and how poor network architecture, lack of visibility, and organizational silos continue to undermine response efforts when incidents occur. Jonathan outlines the architectural foundations required to support effective detection, response, and recovery, while Marc emphasizes the practical realities of implementing OT monitoring—from working with factory engineers to reducing alert fatigue and building usable SOC workflows.</p><p>Bryan brings the incident responder’s perspective, sharing real-world insights from global OT incidents, including prolonged dwell times, ransomware impacts on production, and why organizations without proper segmentation and monitoring often experience the most severe and prolonged outages. The discussion also tackles common questions around Fusion SOCs vs. dedicated OT SOCs, the human challenges of translating OT data into actionable intelligence, and what asset owners should realistically expect from incident response retainers.</p><p>This episode is a must-listen for OT practitioners, security leaders, and asset owners looking to move beyond theory and understand what actually works in the field. Whether you are just beginning your OT monitoring journey or refining mature SOC and IR capabilities, this discussion offers practical guidance rooted in real operational experience.</p>

130: S4’s “Connect” Theme Explained — Dale Peterson on OT Security’s Hyper-Connected Future
<p>In this episode of the (CS)²AI Podcast, host Derek Harp is joined once again by Dale Peterson, Founder of the S4 Conference and one of the longest-standing voices in OT cybersecurity. As Dale marks 25 years in the industry, the conversation takes a forward-looking turn toward what he believes is the next major inflection point for industrial security: <strong>connectivity driven by AI, data, and business systems.</strong></p><p>Dale explains why the 2026 S4 Conference theme, Connect, is not just about networking people, but about the explosive growth of connections between OT systems, enterprise platforms, and analytics driven by AI. From MES, ERP, and PLCs to asset inventories and security telemetry, these connections are accelerating faster than most security teams are prepared for—often driven by business value rather than security design.</p><p>Listeners will hear why manufacturing is emerging as the epicenter of this transformation, how AI is enabling real-time querying across operational systems, and why OT security teams must prepare for a future where their tools become just another data source in larger operational workflows. Dale also shares how this shift will reshape risk, attack surfaces, and even the role of humans in control and response.</p><p>The episode also provides an inside look at <strong>S4 2026</strong>, including this year’s Proof-of-Concept Pavilion, where vendors will be forced to demonstrate their technologies live on a real manufacturing environment, as well as updates on attendance, ticket availability, and why this will be the final year S4 is held in Miami Beach before moving back to Tampa.</p><p>This is a must-listen for OT security professionals, automation leaders, and anyone trying to understand how AI-driven connectivity will redefine both risk and opportunity across industrial environments in the years ahead.</p>
