"We didn’t even call it OT back then."

That one line says a LOT.
Because OT security isn’t new we just finally have a name for it.
And more people are paying attention.

In Episode 72, Aaron C Crow sat down with Patrick Gillespie, OT Practice Director at GuidePoint Security, to talk shop on:

âś… How legacy systems create modern risks
✅ Why patching isn’t the fix-all for OT
âś… Balancing availability, safety & security
âś… The real challenge: people and process, not just tech
✅ Breaking into OT — and building talent for the future

From freight trains to firewalls...
Patrick’s lived it.
And now he’s helping orgs and veterans thrive in this world.

Whether you’re new to OT or knee-deep in controls,
this one’s packed with lessons you can use right now.

🎙️ Just dropped: Episode 70 of Protect It All Podcast

“Vegas, Villages, and the Value of Community”

Back from and , but this year was different.
âś… No expo floor.
✅ Didn’t stay the whole time.
âś… Still walked away with massive value.

Vegas is hotter, more expensive, and (honestly) struggling...
➡️ But the community? Still STRONG.
➡️ Every hallway was a reunion.

Every conversation reminded me why I keep coming back.
🔹 AI everywhere...some real innovation, some AI-washing
🔹 ICS VILLAGE crushed it...record crowds, great conversations
🔹 MorganFranklin Cyber - House of Blues Cyber Lounge was 🔥
🔹 rstcon in Savannah is coming in October… and it's one you shouldn’t miss

Also gave a shout to our Lone Star Cyber Shootout in November we’re turning it up this year with some insane scenarios (shooting from helicopters at moving Humvees… with paintballs, of course).

If you’re wondering what these events are really like and why they still matter hit play.

🎧 I unpack the real takeaways from the week, the value of connection, and what I’m building next.

🎧 AI is both the sword and the shield.

This week’s solo episode of Protect It All Podcast dives into the double-edged impact of AI in cybersecurity and critical infrastructure.

We’re seeing:
🔓 Weaponized zero-days hitting faster than ever
🤖 AI-driven attacks and defenses evolving in real time
🚨 Deepfake risks escalating even for internal comms
⚙️ Policy shifts and global infrastructure concerns

From CrushFTP and SharePoint exploits to Google’s AI agent catching threats before attackers do, I break down what’s happening now and how to stay ahead.

I also share how organizations can:
🔹 Rethink patching like it’s part of incident response
🔹 Use digital twins and AI threat simulations
🔹 Rework IR plans for voice cloning and AI fraud
🔹 Build resilience across vendors and systems

Whether you're in OT, IT, energy, or just trying to lead a secure org through chaos this one’s packed.

🔹 Is AI helping your team move faster❓
🔹Or just creating more threat vectors to manage❓
