Yet as our guest Kayne McGladrey explains, cybercriminals don't care what your company manufactures—they care about opportunity. In this episode, Kayne shares how an unexpected conversation with a golf buddy led to a cybersecurity contract, and why one of the most unassuming industries turned out to have a story worth telling. Together, we explore the incident itself, how trust and professional networks can open doors in unexpected ways, and why manufacturing organizations of every kind have become attractive targets for cyberattacks. It's a fascinating reminder that behind every product—even a simple cardboard box—there's a complex IT infrastructure that deserves to be protected.
