The OG of OT

While we recover from our own operation interruptions, we're putting out bonus episodes where we can, and this is one of them. Our anonymous guest has this to say about the recent IT issues that interrupted the world's critical infrastructures... or did they? Listen to this and I think you'll agree that we should stop blaming CrowdStrike for outages in OT.

A quick update from MIranda, to explain the recent delays in new episodes. She also has a few teasers of new episodes that will be coming soon! Well, maybe "eventually" is a better word, because our production process has become more difficult. But there is some great new content on its way, we promise!

In this episode of the OG of OT podcast, a young woman “Clara” (not her real name) is reunited with this dude “Harvey” (also not his real name). She was duped into taking part in a supply chain attack. He kinda remembers the equipment refresh and rumors of infected firmware. Decades later, they meet. Coincidence?

In the last episode we talked about bad guys camping out in critical infrastructure networks, and now it's time to explore what they can do while they're there. This episode explores "Living off the Land" attacks and what that means in an industrial control network.

Stories about nation-state adversaries "camping out" in the energy grid for as long as I can remember. What the deal? Is this truth? Fiction? Somewhere in between? In this episode, the OGs talk to a bunch of people who claim to know.

The story of a pen tester who actually got to put his grubby hands on a real working control system. That never happens! And the things he was able to do will make your head spin. This is unlike any pen test story that most of you have ever heard before, or will likely hear again.

The automation systems that control the world's critical infrastructures are pretty neat. Some might even say, sexy. If OT cybersecurity gets you hot, this episode is for you. It has all sorts of implied figurative 'booms' that could cause all sorts of implied literal 'booms'. Plus chickens. My anaconda don't want none if you don't subscribe to OGOFOT, hon!

Artificial Intelligence. It’s the golden child of the tech industry right now.  Some say it’s the most disruptive force since the advent of the Internet itself.  And it’s something we personally embrace here at OGOFOT.  But how useful is it in terms of cybersecurity, and specifically for O.T. environments? We have two guests this episode, Murdock and Hannibal. As always, these are not their real n...

Our MC is getting fed up with all the anti-AI sentiment. Don't bother apologizing; make it up to her by subscribing today. That way you won't miss the 2nd episode of OGOFOT, which is all about artificial intelligence and how it help protect critical infrastructure ... or not.

Okay so not the grittiest episode, but since so many people don’t really understand WTF the term “OT” really means, I figured I’d hit this first. Think you already know what OT means? Statistically, you’re wrong. Doctors have proven that 5 out of 6 self-proclaimed OT cyber experts are actually idiots. For folks in the industry, this is a different take on OT cyber than your typical "CIA is AI...

The initial response to our first teaser has been overwhelmingly positive, and the outreach has been flattering ... even if it's also a bit concerning. Subscribe today, and keep sending in your story ideas at OGofOT.com Everything is 100% anonymous and entirely judgement free (you freaks).

Announcing a new podcast from the OG of OT (Operational Technology). Through secure and anonymous interviews, we're bringing you the stories and conversations that you normally don't get to hear (and that a lot of people probably don't want you to listen to). Because it's 100% anonymous, all egos and agendas are left at the door. New episodes will drop on the 1st and the 15th of ev...
