Summary
When it comes to running an airport, there’s no room for error. Any casualty is one too much. That’s the reality of all airports, including DFW Airport. It’s a 28-square-mile operation, bigger than the island of Manhattan, functioning as a city with its own police, fire services, OT environments, and always-on digital infrastructure. In this Threat Talks episode, Lieuwe-Jan Koning (Co-Founder and CTO, ON2IT) sits down with Eric Bowerman (CISO of DFW Airport), to unpack how cybersecurity actually works when IT, OT, and physical safety collide. From digital transformation security to real-world OT security and IT/OT convergence, this is a rare, grounded look at defending critical infrastructure where failure isn’t theoretical - it’s operational. Timestamps Key Topics Covered How a major airport functions as a digital city with IT, OT, and cyber-physical risk Practical OT security strategies when patching and downtime aren’t options Why IT/OT convergence changes threat modeling, segmentation, and detection Resilience-first security: keeping passengers, planes, and operations moving Click here to view the episode transcript.
