CIP-015 compliance doesn't have to start with a 40-site rollout. In @Ember_OT's latest article, @CSecDaemon shares a realistic 90-day path for utilities that need INSM, real visibility, and budget discipline. emberot.com/resources/blog/c… #OTsecurity #CIP015 #ICSsecurity

The future OT analyst needs more than cyber fundamentals. They need OT/ICS depth, protocol fluency, & enough AI literacy to challenge model output instead of trusting it blindly. New article by @CSecDaemon on why the cross-disciplinary OT analyst wins: emberot.com/resources/blog/o…

The most dangerous AI take in cybersecurity right now isn't "AI will replace us." It's "AI will up-skill us." A thread on what most leaders are missing about AI in cyber.

The pitch: AI will up-skill your team. Juniors will operate like seniors. The reality: AI gives juniors access to senior-shaped output. Not the same thing. The senior can interrogate the output. The junior often can't yet.

Foundations first. AI second. The order matters more than people realize. Without the craft, AI is a confidence amplifier with no validation layer underneath. With the craft, it's a real multiplier. Full article here: linkedin.com/pulse/most-dang… #cybersecurity #AI

CIP-015 is not a loot drop. A matrix full of green checkmarks won’t help if you’re still blind at Levels 1 and 2. The real question: if an attacker were already inside your ESP, would you know? I wrote about the compliance trap here:emberot.com/resources/blog/c…
CIP-015 is not a loot drop. Checking every R1 through R3 box does not guarantee real detection. You can be compliant on paper and still stay blind where it counts. @CSecDaemon on alert floods, tool mismatch, and visibility gaps at Levels 1 and 2: emberot.com/resources/blog/c…

When remote OT environments span hundreds (or thousands) of miles, teams need usable data they can act on. Better visibility helps operators reduce blind spots, improve detection, & support safer, more reliable operations. New article from @CSecDaemon emberot.com/resources/blog/p…

#BSidesICS & #S4x26 week felt like the right time to share this... I wrote a bit of a manifesto about how I think OT security should be practiced, focusing on one idea: “No Noise. Just Signal.” Clear thinking. Respect for operations. Awareness of real-world impact.🤘🔥
As #BSidesICS & #S4x26 kick off, our founder @CSecDaemon has written an article (a manifesto of sorts) that captures how @Ember_OT approaches #OTsecurity. “No Noise. Just Signal.” Clarity. Discipline. Respect for operations. emberot.com/resources/blog/n… #ICSsecurity #SCADAsecurity

IT lets you move fast. OT requires you to move carefully. Vendor contracts, validation cycles, legacy PLCs, and operators who know every edge case. Security changes can affect real-world processes. Part 2 of our OT Curious series: emberot.com/resources/blog/v…

More IT defenders are becoming “OT curious,” but #OTsecurity isn't just IT with different gear. OT systems run for decades, control physical processes, and come with very different constraints and consequences. emberot.com/resources/blog/a…

If you work in OT, you already know this truth: humor is a coping mechanism. Asset inventories, Patch Tuesdays, legacy systems that can't be touched, these 17 #OTcybersecurity memes are painfully accurate. emberot.com/resources/blog/o… h/t @_mikeholcomb_ for creating many of these!
