Why Cybersecurity Should be Baked into Your Digital Transformation

The Advanced Manufacturing Now Podcast caught up with GrayMatter GM of Brilliant Operations and Industrial Analytics Tod Virden about why it's critical to make cybersecurity a foundational part of digital transformation.

"We encounter lots of folks that either want to start with a cyber strategy or start with a digital transformation strategy. And I like to say, they're really one. They need to be one. We need to think about them as the same thing," Virden told Podcast Host Amy Bryson.

"On the OT side, for cybersecurity, it's really about moving the data around in a safe and secure fashion and protecting the assets that make the money," Virden says, highlighting the differences between cybersecurity for IT and OT.

"If your email goes down, it kind of hurts, but if your PLC goes down from a cyber attack or because a nation-state is changing a set point and making bad product, that you didn't realize, that's a really, really bad thing," Virden explains.
