October 13, 2021 Calculating OT Cyber Risk With Ilan Barda of Radiflow
This episode dives deep into the risk score methodology of Radiflow's Ciara product. It attempts to use interview, asset inventory, and simulation to identify a risk score for a zone or site. It also then uses simulation to determine what security controls would most improve the risk score / reduce risk. Obviously this is a detailed talk on a specific vendor approach, so if that sort of thing bothers you this episode might not be for you. We also talk about whether the visibility / detection product segment will be separate from the OT cyber risk product, and we end with a discussion of how a company the size of Radiflow competes with the Claroty/Dragos/Nozomi of the world that have raised $100M+.
