Engineering-Grade OT Security - an interview with the author
In his new book Engineering-Grade OT Security: A manager's guide, Andrew Ginter explores the question how much is enough? How much engineering? How much security? For which kinds of systems? And most importantly, why?

By analogy, consider - what load should a pedestrian bridge be designed for? Assume barriers, so vehicles cannot enter the bridge. Engineers calculate the weight of 2 meters of water across the entire width and length of the bridge - people are mostly water after all. Most people are under 2 meters tall, so this weight and distribution of water is a shoulder-to-shoulder, worst-case pedestrian load. Engineers then multiply the result by 10 and design to that load. These are people crossing the bridge after all. Failure of the bridge under load is unacceptable.

When cyber compromise of industrial automation puts worker safety, public safety or national security at risk, we need the same kind of decision making. Our physical and cyber designs must stand up to a specified threat load, until at least the next opportunity to upgrade those systems, with a large margin for error, because failure is unacceptable.

And when there are no such safety risks or risks to the nation, answering how much is enough? becomes much simpler.
You are invited to join us as Derek chats with Andrew about the ideas and approaches in the new book. We look at how much is enough in small shoe factories, in high-speed rail switching systems, and in everything in between.
