June Community Night - Leon Poggioli and Sanam Makadia + Peter Lake
Hello friends,
This month we will (finally!) be an entirely standalone community event, not for profit and volunteer run. We have booked a large event space in the Multicultural Hub across from Vic Market. Pizza and beverages will be graciously funded this month by Dragos, but we would really love to see other food and beverage sponsors in the future.
**We can also really use additional volunteers to watch the door, help carry in food and drinks, or help with set up or clean up. Please send us a message if you're able to help.**
This event will survive if people are involved and want to make it survive!
Cheers,
Lesley
**Talk 1: A practical methodology to secure critical infrastructure**
OT Cybersecurity is current in a “perfect storm scenario”. This is due to:
● Increased OT automation
● Increased regulation
● OT cyber maturity lags IT cyber maturity
● OT cyber risk impacts safety and production
While many large organisations are well-resourced with dedicated teams, smaller organisations who aren’t able to appoint a dedicated OT Cybersecurity leader often struggle to deliver an effective OT Cybersecurity uplift program.
This talk outlines why practical, lightweight approaches to complicated scenarios suit most critical infrastructure organisations and how such an approach would work in practice.
**Speaker:**
Leon Poggioli is the founder of NetSeg, an advisory
organisation focused on consulting around OT Cybersecurity
Strategy and Program Development. He founded NetSeg after
recognising that many organisations with OT Cybersecurity
obligations don’t have the necessary knowledge and
experience to drive a program which requires different
capabilities and stakeholders than IT Cybersecurity programs
require.
OT Cybersecurity is in a “perfect storm” - with increased OT
automation and connectivity increasing the attack surface,
increased regulations, not to mention the fact that any organisation with an OT network likely
relies on that network to conduct their core business!
Before founding NetSeg, Leon was the Australia New Zealand Country Manager for Claroty,
one of the Gartner leaders for CPS (Cyberphysical Systems) Protection Platforms, and
worked with a wide range of Australian and New Zealand organisations to drive their
programs using Claroty’s technology.
Leon also has a YouTube channel @NetSeg_IO where he shares short-form videos on a
range of OT Cybersecurity topics. He has also been featured several times on Australian
television and talkback radio.
**Talk 2: Managing a Crisis in Critical Infrastructure -**
**Incident Command System**
Critical infrastructure is increasingly exposed to cyber-physical threats impacting
essential services like energy, water, and transportation. This session introduces
ICS4ICS, a proven incident response framework adapted for Industrial Control
Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT).
It enables IT, OT, and cybersecurity teams to collaborate with clear roles, shared
language, and coordinated response during high-impact incidents. Attendees will gain
practical insights into managing cyber incidents that can escalate into physical
disruptions, improving resilience and response effectiveness.
Designed for cyber, natural, and accidental events, ICS4ICS supports cross-sector and
public-private coordination.
**Speakers:**
Sanam Makadia
• Cyber Security Architect and Advisor
• Thought leader and advisor with more than 2
decades of experience in design, consulting,
architecture, Risk and Governance
• Interest in topics such as Cyber strategy, GRC,
operational technology/industrial control systems
(OT/ICS) and robotics & artificial intelligence (AI)
Peter Lake
• Cybersecurity Strategy Lead and CTF coach
• Passionate about capacity building for
neurodivergent young people, coaching, and
building Cybersecurity career pathways.
• Keen interest in critical infrastructure, space
cyber awareness, incident response and
management.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream! Their menu uses made-from-scratch recipes in an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, crepes, waffle sticks, specialty coffee & espresso, and more! Their specialty shakes are as delicious as they are over-the-top and they offer an extensive vegan menu! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 6:45pm showing and we’ll meet in the upstairs lobby between 6:25 and 6:35pm! Advance ticket purchase is advised for this opening night showing! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!
Should be a fun one, Dan
