Live from BlackHat 2025, we sit down with Edgard Capdevielle, CEO of Nozomi Networks, the company leading the charge in protecting the world’s most critical infrastructure. OT security has grown from an obscure niche into a global priority, and Nozomi has been at the center of that transformation.In this episode, Edgard shares his journey from data management and web security into the high-stakes world of industrial cybersecurity, where a single breach can cost hundreds of millions of dollars or even lives. He explains why AI has been in Nozomi’s DNA from the very beginning, how the company scaled from just eight employees to more than a thousand customers worldwide, and what the future of IT and OT convergence really looks like.Whether you are a CISO battling alert fatigue, a tech enthusiast curious about the AI-driven future of cyber defence, or simply want to understand the invisible systems that keep our world running, this episode delivers rare insights from one of the industry’s most influential leaders.Edgard's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/edgardcapdevielle/?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAAAAFkYBfxPianxXZTy82duLTUxc6z3fZ18Nozomi Networks - https://www.linkedin.com/company/nozomi-networks-sa/Ben's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-gascoigne-aa973317b/Aspiron Search - https://www.linkedin.com/company/aspiron-search/The BlackHat Edition of CyberBytes is proudly sponsored by Marketbridge - a unique blend of strategic growth consultancy and top-tier marketing agency.

אני יכול להגיד בביטחון שמרבית אנשי הסייבר שעוסקים במערכות תפעוליות מגיעים ממערכות המידע ולמדו את תחום הבקרה, ללא הבנה של תחום הבקרה לעומק ההגנות יהיו מתוך התפיסה של מערכות מידע טעות מוכרת של הרבה מנהלי מערכות מידע ומנהלי אבטחת מידע בסביבות תפעוליות.

משב רוח מרענן הם אנשי בקרה שנכנסו גם לתחום הסייבר, במסגרת המסע שלי למציאת פתרונות גישה מאובטחת מרחוק למערכות תפעוליות מצאתי פתרון נפלא אבל יותר חשוב מצאתי מומחה בקרה שטבל את ידיו בקלחת הרותחת של סייבר כדי לתת פתרון ללקוחותיו כבר משלב התכנון ועד סיום הביצוע.

נחשון פינקו מארח את שלמה אשד מייסד ומנכ"ל רומטרקס בשיחה על סייבר בעולמות התפעולים מנקודת מבט של מומחה בקרה והצורך בפתרונות הגנה ייעודיים.

Most cyber professionals who deal with operational systems come from information systems and studied the control field. Without an in-depth understanding of the control field, defenses will be based on the perception of information systems —a common mistake among IT managers and information security managers in operational environments.

A refreshing breath of fresh air are control professionals who have also entered the cyber field. As part of my journey to find secure remote access solutions for operational systems, I found an excellent solution. Still, more importantly, I found a control expert who has dipped his hands into the boiling cauldron of cyber to provide a solution to his clients from the planning stage to the end of execution.

Nachshon Pincu hosts Shlomo Eshed, founder and CEO of Romtrex, in a conversation about cyber in the world of operations from the perspective of a control expert and the need for dedicated protection solutions.
