Interview - Ben Worthy from Airbus Protect
The current state of OT security and business resilience
In this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, we sit down with Ben Worthy, OT Security Specialist at Airbus Protect, to explore the evolving landscape of business resilience in safety-critical sectors. With over 25 years of experience across aerospace, nuclear, water, oil & gas, and other industries, Ben shares insights on how organizations are adapting to the surge in disruptive cyberattacks—from ransomware targeting operational technology to GPS spoofing and supply chain incidents. We discuss major cases including the Boeing/LockBit ransom demand, the Jaguar Land Rover production shutdown, and the SITA passenger data breach, examining how aviation and other critical infrastructure sectors are separating safety risk from business continuity risk.
Ben also breaks down the regulatory changes reshaping the industry, including EASA's October 2025 and February 2026 deadlines that tie cyber assurance directly to safety oversight, and what ENISA's latest numbers reveal about hacktivism and ransomware trends. Whether you're in aviation, nuclear, or any safety-critical sector, this conversation offers practical lessons on building resilience that keeps operations moving while addressing threats in real time.

Topic: Where are the business incentives to build secure products and software?
"It's the right thing to do," so of course businesses will make their products secure, right? Well, it turns out that breaches and vulnerabilities don't traditionally hurt financial performance all that much. Stocks recover, insurance covers the bulks of the losses, fines are paid, and lawsuits are settled. Most businesses can comfortably absorb the impact, so the threat of reputational harm or financial losses just aren't slowing them down.
In the case of Ivanti, where the reputational harm was extreme, the company's companies continue to get hacked as critical vulnerabilities keep getting discovered in their products.

In this topic segment, we don't aim to provide solutions to this problem, just the awareness that ethics, doing the right thing, and even signing the Secure by Design pledge don't seem to be enough to change vendor behavior when it comes to securing products.

Most organizations view security as a cost center, a "check-the-box" expense rather than a strategic investment. This mindset leads to chronic underfunding, reactive, panic-driven decision-making, and high staff turnover. It also hampers innovation, strategic initiatives, and customer trust. What if security was viewed as a business enabler, not a cost center?
Elyse Gunn, CISO at Nasuni, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how to make security a business enabler, turning security from a cost center into a profit center. Elyse discusses why aligning security initiatives to business drivers is the key to addressing trust, both internally and externally, and how it solves the biggest security priorities for organizations, including:
Data Privacy
AI Security, and
Nth Party Risk
