Matthias Reinwarth and Dr. Phillip Messerschmidt delve into the complexities of Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM). They discuss the importance of understanding and mitigating risks that arise from external suppliers and the interconnected nature of modern supply chains. The conversation highlights the critical role of Identity and Access Management (IAM) in managing these risks, particularly in the context of federated identities and the challenges that arise from relying on third-party controls. The speakers emphasize the need for organizations to actively assess and manage risks, implement robust onboarding processes, and continuously improve their cybersecurity practices to protect against potential threats.

As digitalization accelerates in industrial and operational settings, Operational Technology (OT) environments have become more interconnected with enterprise IT and even cloud infrastructures. The increased connectivity often can provide more efficiency and new capabilities, but it also introduces complex security challenges. Protecting OT and IoT environments is critical but complicated due to the differences in functions and approaches to securing IT vs. OT infrastructures.
