Operational Technology (OT/ICS) cybersecurity from the inside of real plants and utilities.

Operational Technology (OT/ICS)

Operational Technology is where cyber risk meets physical consequence. Mark Lynd advises operators of energy, water, manufacturing, oil-and-gas, transportation, and defense facilities on the OT/ICS security decisions that determine whether an intrusion stays in the IT layer or jumps the air gap into Purdue Levels 0–2. He authored "Cyber War: One Scenario," a book built around exactly this problem (coordinated OT-targeting attacks on US critical infrastructure), and facilitates executive tabletop exercises that walk leadership through the failure modes most plants only discover during a real incident.
