In this episode of Bad Actors, host Rebecca Craddick speaks with Patrick Gillespie, OT Practice Director at GuidePoint Security, about the unique and often misunderstood world of operational technology (OT) and its critical role in many areas, from manufacturing to public utilities.

Patrick discusses the increasing threats to critical infrastructure, the challenges of bridging the gap between IT and OT teams, and the importance of adopting a "survivable" security posture. He also explains how GuidePoint's partnership with Armis helps organizations gain visibility into their OT environments and prioritize vulnerabilities. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the evolving landscape of cybersecurity and the protection of our most vital systems.
