OT security spending is at an all-time high, yet all these tools do is fill the “do we have X product” hole if the organization isn't investing in a human-driven aggregation layer to curate and make decisions based on the telemetry and data pouring out of them. Danielle Jablanski has examined this problem from a rare intersection of vantage points: as a strategist working with asset owners at Nozomi Networks, as a leader of OT strategy inside CISA's Office of the Technical Director, and now as the OT cybersecurity consulting program lead at STV, an infrastructure-focused firm building security in from the start rather than bolting it on. She joins Matt Calligan to explain why treating cybersecurity as a technology problem instead of a people problem is dangerous in environments where the stakes couldn’t be higher - where failure doesn’t just interrupt data or access, it stops water, electricity, and the systems society runs on.
