In this episode, host and xIoT security evangelist John Vecchi sits down with Enrique Martinez, OT/IoT Practice Lead at World Wide Technology (WWT), to explore the critical challenges and solutions in securing OT and IoT environments. Enrique shares his journey into cybersecurity, highlights the importance of asset visibility, and discusses how AI is transforming both defense and risk in the cyber-physical world.

Key Topics Covered:

• The foundational importance of asset awareness and behavior analysis.
• How IT/OT convergence increases vulnerabilities and the need for layered security.
• Challenges in securing legacy systems and balancing risk with safety.
• How AI can enhance data analytics, decision-making, and security in OT.
• Practical insights on remediation and accelerating asset discovery.

Featured Insights:

• “It all starts with asset awareness—knowing what you have and how it behaves is the first step to securing it.”
• “AI offers great potential for security, but with cyber-physical systems, safety and availability must always come first.”
