When OT Becomes a Risk:
Two security experts speak candidly

What happens when one of the most respected voices in cybersecurity sits down with an industry strategist? The conversation turns to some uncomfortable truths about industrial cybersecurity. Shira Rubinoff, CEO of the Cybersphere Group, invited David Petrikat, Chief Strategy & Communications Officer at AMT, for a video interview. Together, they go straight to where modern industrial companies are most vulnerable: their OT environments.

It quickly becomes clear why mid-sized manufacturers are coming under increasing pressure. Many now operate with the complexity of large enterprises without the mature structures, processes, and security posture those enterprises have built over time. Too small for true resilience, too complex for agility: a dangerous tension that leaves the door wide open to attackers.

But large industrial organizations are far from safe havens either. Quite the opposite. As OT landscapes scale, dependencies multiply, attack surfaces expand, and the impact of outages grows. A single incident can bring entire production chains to a halt, with serious economic consequences.

In the video, Rubinoff and Petrikat discuss, among other things,

• why established IT frameworks fall short in OT environments,
• why the threat landscape continues to intensify for both mid-market and enterprise organizations, and
• which priorities companies must set now to effectively protect their industrial backbone.
