Boost your industrial cybersecurity knowledge with "Cybersecurity shall be C-level priority!" – the podcast where real-world threats meet hands-on solutions.

In this episode, host Nico Freitag welcomes Sebastian Froede, Managing Director of Pentaris Security GmbH, to talk about the realities of OT security and how penetration testing in industrial environments differs drastically from IT.

Sebastian brings over 12 years of field experience in OT pentesting and shares why tools like Nmap or Nessus can be dangerous in these contexts. They also discuss why the #1 priority in OT isn’t data – it's availability.

🛠 Topics covered in this episode:

✅ Legacy systems in production: How to deal with outdated yet critical infrastructure

✅ Remote access risks: Why TeamViewer is a popular but risky tool in OT

✅ Real-world attack paths: From spoofed sensor data to manipulated HMI displays

✅ Why Blackbox pentests don't work in OT – and what to do instead

✅ Best practices: Segmentation, protocol control, and safe access strategies

✅ Empowering OT teams: Why awareness and training are essential

✅ Incident response in OT: Why recovery matters more than forensics

✅ ESP32 and Flipper Zero: What's real and what's just fearmongering?

💡 Learn how to truly protect your production – from factory floor to control room.
