The Cyber Fusion Report Episode 4

The Cyber Fusion Podcast, Episode 4: Beyond the Firewall

Industrial cyberattacks are exploding, OT environments are getting hit harder than ever, and most organizations are still relying on outdated penetration tests that fail to reveal their true exposure. In Episode 4 of The Cyber Fusion Report, powered by PhishCloud, we uncover the hidden risks inside modern industrial systems and why OT Red Team Assessments are now essential for real-world resilience.

Host Gary Mullen sits down with two industry heavyweights: Terry McCorkle, CEO and Founder of PhishCloud, and Billy Rios, world-renowned security researcher and Co-Founder of QED Secure Solutions. Together, they break down why ransomware attacks on OT have surged eighty seven percent, how attackers bypass “air-gapped” assumptions, and the blind spots that allow adversaries to move from IT to OT long before defenders notice.

This episode dives into embedded systems, real attack paths, hidden entry points, and how experience in the field reveals risks compliance and pen tests never catch. If you want to understand what actually protects critical infrastructure, and why Red Teaming exposes the consequences that matter, this is the conversation you can’t afford to miss.

In OT, a missed alert is not data loss. It is downtime, damage, or danger.
