Series 3 - Episode 3!

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of the industrial cyber landscape but is it strengthening critical infrastructure, or introducing entirely new risks?

In this episode we explore the growing relationship between AI and OT security, discussing how organisations are beginning to rely on AI-driven technologies within critical infrastructure environments.

We dive into topics including:▪️ AI as a new dependency in critical infrastructure▪️ AI-assisted defence for OT environments▪️ How attackers are beginning to use AI against operational technology▪️ The emerging cyber “arms race” between defenders and adversaries▪️ New vulnerabilities and attack vectors introduced by AI systems▪️ Risks such as malicious data poisoning and the growing concern around AI model collapse caused by AI-generated training data

As AI adoption accelerates, understanding both the opportunities and the unintended consequences becomes increasingly important for organisations operating industrial systems.

So grab a brew and join us as we explore whether AI is becoming the future of industrial cybersecurity or the next major challenge.

Series 3 - Episode 2!

The landscape of industrial cybersecurity guidance in the UK is evolving, and many organisations are now navigating the transition from HSE’s OG86 guidance to the more comprehensive IEC 62443 standard.

In this episode of Cyber Brews, we explore what that shift really means for engineers, operators, and organisations responsible for industrial control systems and operational technology.

We discuss why OG86 existed, the role it played in protecting safety-related systems, and how the growing cyber threat landscape has driven the move toward IEC 62443’s broader, lifecycle-based approach to cybersecurity.

Along the way, we unpack key differences between the two approaches, the expectations emerging from regulators, and some of the practical challenges organisations face when applying these concepts to real-world OT environments.

So grab a brew and join us as we break down the journey from OG86 to IEC 62443 and what it means for the future of industrial cyber security!
