Throughout their discussion, they address the challenges and necessities of securing funding from executive teams, framing the conversation around liability, risk management, and the dire need for strategic investment to safeguard critical infrastructure.
They highlight the nuanced divide between IT and OT responsibilities and emphasize the vital role of clear communication in making cybersecurity a top priority for corporate budgeting.
