What We Are Thankful for in OT Cybersecurity

At Thanksgiving, my family likes to go around the table and give thanks for something good that happened over the past year. Many on the team have the same tradition which is mostly focused on health, family and friends. I decided to do the same with my BlastWave team this year relative to their professional life, so I asked them what they were thankful for. Below are their responses:

Peter Alm, CTO: “Since I hate passwords, I am thankful we may finally see the end of passwords in OT. Passwordless authentication can now quickly eliminate the single most significant attack vector, and I see the end of passwords written down on sticky desk notes.”

Vince Zappula, CRO: “I am thankful that the BlastWave product is helping so many new customers secure their OT networks this year. Our growth and positive customer feedback on the product have validated our position that there is a better solution for OT protection.”

Cam Cullen, CMO: “Everyone likes to feel that their work makes a difference. Critical Infrastructure Protection is the next great task for cybersecurity, and I believe BlastWave is leading the charge to a new, more secure world. I am thankful that I come to work every day where I get to make a difference.”

Kelly Sims, Operations: “I love meeting challenges head-on. I am thankful that BlastWave has allowed me to learn something new daily as we grow with our customers.”

Joe Baxter, Solutions Architect: “I am thankful to be working with a product and a team that makes a measurable positive impact on the world of OT every day. Not all companies are fun and exciting to work at, but I love my team at BlastWave.”

What am I thankful for?

Tom Sego, CEO: “I love doing things that people say can’t be done. I am thankful for my team at BlastWave, which keeps delivering on things the market and customers say can’t be done, or my favorite, ‘That’s too good to be true.’ It’s True, It’s True.”
