Roundtable Discussion with Jay Williams, Alex Bagwell, and Gabe Authier

The PrOTect OT Cybersecurity Podcast

In this episode, Aaron Crow, Jay Williams, Alex Bagwell, and Gabe Authier discuss:

• Who is Industrial Defender?
• What’s coming soon from Industrial Defender?
• Asset data as the foundation for security

Key Takeaways:

• Industrial Defender has built a reputation for being trusted by the largest industrial organizations and critical infrastructure operators in the world. Particularly as a leader in NERC CIP compliance monitoring and reporting.
• However, Industrial Defender isn’t just NERC CIP. Their value extends beyond that today, as they’ve developed industry-leading capabilities for gathering and understanding OT asset data, driving better outcomes for the safety, availability and security of critical operations.
• Industrial Defender is the leader in providing deeper-level asset data and vital endpoint information, which represents the core foundational aspects of most cybersecurity programs. While asset management and contextual data alone isn’t security, you can’t protect what you can’t see.
• The focus of Industrial Defender is to be the single source of truth for all OT asset data, enabling goals around OT asset management, change and configuration management, vulnerability management, and policy compliance. It’s their mission to protect their customers’ reputations and competitive edge as the cyber-physical landscape evolves.

"If you have a lot of assets, you can't know and properly manage those assets without knowing their existence, and at least having some contextual data around them." — Jay Williams
