The conversation covers the unique challenges of protecting operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems in manufacturing, while providing valuable insights into the growing importance of supply chain security across the aviation sector.

Tune in to learn how cybersecurity professionals like Thomas are navigating the ever-evolving threat landscape in manufacturing, applying continuous learning to stay ahead of bad actors, and ensuring the safety of both military and civilian aerospace operations.
