Summary
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.
