Mythos vs. Reality: Preventing Industrial Cyberattacks

AI did not create OT’s biggest cybersecurity weaknesses.

It exposed them.
Accelerated them.
And made them easier to exploit at machine speed.

In this webinar replay, BlastWave CEO Tom Sego and ICS Blitz penetration tester Aaron Boyd break down what AI-powered vulnerability discovery means for industrial control systems, critical infrastructure, and OT asset owners.

“AI does not create the weakness. It just really exposes and accelerates it.”

What You’ll Learn

• Why OT environments are structurally different from IT environments
• How AI accelerates reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, phishing, and exploit attempts
• Why patching faster is not a realistic OT security strategy
• Why defensive AI alone cannot solve the OT problem
• How network cloaking, microsegmentation, passwordless MFA, and secure remote access reduce the attacker’s ability to find, access, and move through OT systems

The Reality for OT Teams

You cannot always patch faster.
You cannot always take systems offline.
You cannot always install endpoint security tools.
You cannot always automate response without creating safety and uptime risks.

So the real question is:

How do you reduce exposure when you cannot reduce the patch timeline?
