In our latest episodes, we were joined by Vivek Ponnada, SVP at Frenos and a veteran with nearly 30 years in OT, for a deep dive into the future of industrial cybersecurity.We explored:

🔹 Why OT security is fundamentally different from IT — and why patching isn’t always the answer.

🔹 How attack path analysis and digital twins can model real-world threats without disrupting operations.

🔹 The power of AI trained on OT-specific TTPs to simulate adversaries and recommend precise mitigations.

🔹 The critical role of threat intelligence-based prioritization — especially for teams with limited budgets.

🔹 Regional differences in maturity, and why the Middle East is ahead in risk awareness.

🔹 And the vision for a future where OT security is as embedded as safety and quality.Vivek shared practical advice for newcomers, the importance of compensating controls, and how integrated data (from assets to firewalls) creates a holistic security posture.
