Adapting to Legislative Demands: Insights on Cyber Security Compliance in Critical Infrastructure
Manage episode 399668696 series 3372765
Welcome to Razorwire, the podcast dedicated to exploring the complex and evolving world of cyber security legislation. I'm your host, Jim, and in today's episode, we delve into the intricate landscape of cyber security legislation with our guests Steve Applegate and Phil Tonkin from Dragos.
In this episode, our guests shed light on the challenges and intricacies of navigating the cyber security legislature, focusing on the impact on critical infrastructure and the evolving landscape of compliance. From managing connectivity safely to the complexities of integrating IT and OT in modern manufacturing, we explore the key factors influencing cyber security legislation and its practical implications.
Key Talking Points:
1. The importance of managing connectivity safely and ensuring proper segmentation and visibility in the Niz legislation.
2. Challenges faced by organisations, such as Sellafield, in implementing controls and recognising legacy challenges in OT environments.
3. The impact of conflicting regulations on consumers and the need for practical compliance requirements in cyber security legislation.
“We can't let FUD be the guide, right? If every time we hear a thing, we start panicking and we deviate from our processes and start making a whole bunch of new mandates, even internally, all the people within a company that have to track that and follow it and meet with people, and it's a distraction, I think, from real security."
