Episode description

For many companies, connecting IT and OT networks can be a double-edged sword. Yes, doing so delivers greater visibility and makes it possible to better utilize platforms, buildings, industrial PLCs, and more. But it also increases complexity and blurs network boundaries—resulting in vulnerabilities that provide hackers with ample opportunities to strike.

In this podcast, we review how organizations deploy Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to maintain performance while shielding their increasingly connected devices and data from attacks. Specifically, we take a closeup look at how FPGAs can be easily updated to protect devices at the edge and examine how this custom hardware provides a solid platform for implementing industry standards necessary for securely authenticating, updating, and sharing data across a network.

Join us as we explore these ideas with:
Mark Frost, Technical Marketing Manager, Intel
Louis Parks, CEO, Veridify
Christina Cardoza, Associate Editorial Director, insight.tech

Mark and Louis answer our questions about

• The challenge with OT security
• Top trends and challenges in the security industry
• How today’s security solutions need to evolve
• What FPGAs are and why they are important
• The state of organizations’ security strategies
• FPGA support for industry recommendations
• OT network security tools and technologies
• Ongoing partnerships to address security issues
