Nexus Podcast: Adm. Michael Rogers on Deterrence in Cyberspace

Michael Mimoso
Threat intelligence for operational technology environments differs from traditional IT threat intelligence. OT threat intelligence requires contextual, situational awareness that identifies vulnerabilities and anomalies, and also which assets, and in what part of the process, are exposed. It must also note what the safety and operational consequences would be if exploited. This context enables security teams to prioritize risk mitigation according to real-world impact rather than theoretical severity.
