Manufacturing Hub Ep. 96 - [Kyle McMillan] Understanding & Securing your IT-OT Convergence!
Guest Bio - Kyle McMillan
Kyle has a background in Electrical Engineering & control systems. As his responsibilities at Siemens expanded to include industrial networks anda industrial cybersecurity, Kyle developed a passion for cybersecurity and a deep understanding of IT / OT challenges in manufacturing. As a product security officer at Siemens, Kyle is responsible for establishing best practices that protect internal systems and those of end-users of Siemens products.
From open ports to air-gapped systems, and DMZ's - should we care about Cybersecurity?
Yes, we should, and Kyle McMillan should tell us all about it.
As we kick off IT-OT Convergence and maybe IT v OT, we know a couple of things:
1) We'll be talking about secret laptops.
2) We need to find a way to secure our systems.
Bring your cyber questions as we welcome Kyle to the show!
A special thank you to Siemens for sponsoring this theme and your continued support of the community!
