In this solo episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow delivers a straight-talk reality check on the widening IT–OT cybersecurity gap and what it really takes to protect the systems that keep the world running. With decades of experience defending critical infrastructure, Aaron exposes why many OT environments are still years behind in resilience and visibility - and how we can finally fix that.

You’ll learn:

• The real incidents prove why OT cybersecurity can’t afford to lag.
  
  
• Why visibility and segmentation are non-negotiable for industrial systems.
  
  
• How to build an incident-response plan that works when the stakes are highest.
  
  
• Practical steps to strengthen resilience and recovery across critical operations.
  
  

This episode isn’t about fear - it’s about preparation. If your work touches energy, transportation, manufacturing, or utilities, this one’s your wake-up call to act before disaster hits.
