Michael Piccalo is the Director of OT/ICS Systems Engineering at Forescout Technologies. He says cybersecurity needs to be part of these safety conversations that are so prevalent in the OT culture. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risk Report 2020, more than 76% of respondents now agree that attacks against critical infrastructure will increase in 2020, putting cybersecurity as a top issue in line with major concerns like the effects of climate change and global economies.
