Richard Springer explores the fast-evolving world of operational technology (OT) security, focusing on how industrial environments are adapting to modern cyber threats. His work looks beyond buzzwords to examine the real conditions inside plants, factories and critical systems, where legacy equipment, connectivity and safety requirements collide.

Through his stories, readers gain insight into why improved visibility and governance are not enough on their own, and how issues like longer attacker dwell times and targeted ransomware continue to expose gaps in defences. Richard’s writing helps security leaders, engineers and technology teams understand where their most pressing risks lie and what practical measures can strengthen resilience across complex OT landscapes.
