In this podcast, Thielemann and Mixter discuss:

• Unclear ownership/commitment to securing CPS (06:10)
• The inability to defend what people don’t know they have (09:10)
• The cultural and language divide between IT cybersecurity and CPS teams (12:22)
• Insufficient OEM commitment to security by design (24:55)

Across industries, the expanding use of cyber-physical systems (CPS) brings massive potential for value creation internally and for customers and citizens. Currently, most enterprises take a siloed approach to managing risks — IT cybersecurity is managed here, while the security of cyber-physical systems is managed over there. Unfortunately, this virtually ensures that the risks will outweigh the potential benefits. 

Cybersecurity leaders — whether they own CPS security or not, or are inside or outside industries traditionally considered “critical infrastructure,” have an essential role to play in ensuring the enterprise addresses risks.
