Think you can manage industrial systems like your IT infrastructure? Think again. In this episode of The Audit, Dino Busalachi unpacks the high-stakes complexity of OT-IT convergence—and why your trusty IT playbook flatlines on the plant floor.
Join the IT Audit Labs crew as we dive into the chaos of managing 10,000+ industrial assets across a sprawling landscape of vendors, protocols, and operational rules that laugh in the face of standardization. From Siemens to Rockwell to Honeywell, Dino draws sharp parallels to hospital systems juggling specialized third-party contractors—because in the world of OT, consistency is a luxury and adaptability is survival.

🔧 Key Topics Covered:
• Why OT environments resist IT standardization efforts
• Managing thousands of industrial assets from multiple vendors
• The hospital analogy: treating OT specialists like medical contractors
• Building effective partnerships between OT and IT teams • Real-world challenges of securing industrial control systems
