Seeing the Invisible: Asset Discovery, Segmentation, and the Reality of OT Security
<p>In this episode of <i>Exploited: The Cyber Truth</i>, host Paul Ducklin is joined by Shane Fry, CTO of RunSafe Security, and Andrew McPhee, Solutions Manager for Industrial Security at Cisco, to examine why visibility is one of the biggest challenges in OT cybersecurity.</p> <p>As industrial environments become more connected, organizations are struggling to identify unknown assets, understand hidden dependencies, and secure systems that were never designed with cybersecurity in mind. McPhee explains how attackers exploit these blind spots, why traditional IT security approaches often fall short in OT environments, and how visibility and segmentation can help reduce risk.</p> <p>Together, they explore:</p> <ul><li>Why asset visibility is the foundation of OT security</li><li>How unknown assets and communication pathways create risk</li><li>The differences between active and passive asset discovery</li><li>Why segmentation remains one of the most effective OT security controls</li><li>How IT/OT convergence is expanding the attack surface</li><li>The role of risk tolerance and risk acceptance in security decisions</li></ul> <p>From manufacturing facilities to critical infrastructure, this episode explores what security teams must understand before they can effectively protect the systems they depend on.</p>

The Cyber-Physical Truth: What We Get Wrong About Attacks on Critical Infrastructure
<p>In this episode of <i>Exploited: The Cyber Truth</i>, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security CEO Joseph M. Saunders and Danielle “DJ” Jablanski, Cybersecurity Consulting Program Lead for Operational Technology at STV and former OT Cybersecurity Strategist at CISA, to examine what defenders often get wrong about attacks on critical infrastructure.</p> <p>With experience across government, threat intelligence, engineering, and industrial environments, DJ explains why sectors like water, rail, energy, and manufacturing require a different way of thinking about cybersecurity.</p> <p>Together, they explore:</p> <ul><li>How cyber-physical risk differs from traditional IT risk</li><li>Why attacks can target engineering logic, process variables, and safety systems</li><li>The challenge of securing long-lived OT assets and heterogeneous environments</li><li>How visibility, asset identification, and segmentation shape OT defense</li><li>Why secure-by-design and secure-by-demand both matter</li><li>Why patching alone cannot keep up with distributed critical infrastructure</li></ul> <p>From water systems to transportation networks, this episode breaks down what security leaders, asset owners, OEMs, and operators must understand to stay ahead of cyber-physical threats.</p>

You Can’t Patch Your Way Out of This: What Mythos Means for the Future of Cybersecurity
<p>In this episode of <i>Exploited: The Cyber Truth</i>, RunSafe Security Founder and CEO Joe Saunders and EVP and CSO Doug Britton join us for a strategic discussion on what Anthropic’s “Mythos moment” means for the future of cyber defense.</p> <p>Joe and Doug explore why AI-driven vulnerability discovery marks a fundamental turning point for enterprises, critical infrastructure, and national security. As AI accelerates the discovery and weaponization of vulnerabilities, traditional patch-and-remediate strategies are becoming increasingly unsustainable, especially for safety-critical and mission-critical systems that cannot be patched quickly or frequently.</p> <p>Together, Joe and Doug examine:</p> <ul><li>Why “find and fix” alone cannot scale in the AI era</li><li>How AI is shifting the balance between attackers and defenders</li><li>Why patch timelines are widening as vulnerability discovery accelerates</li><li>The growing need for resilience-based cybersecurity</li><li>How organizations can reduce exploitability without rewriting legacy systems</li><li>Why mitigation technologies are becoming essential for critical infrastructure and national security</li></ul> <p>Whether you secure embedded systems, manage cyber risk across critical infrastructure, or lead product security strategy, this episode makes the case for a new approach: one built not around chasing every vulnerability faster, but around ensuring systems remain resilient even when flaws exist.</p>
