In this episode of You Gotta Hack That, Felix sits down with Emily, a principal industrial cyber security consultant and former national utility cyber lead, to demystify ISA/IEC 62443. Why do so many teams treat it like a silver bullet and why does that backfire fast? Emily breaks down what 62443 actually is (spoiler: it’s a family of standards), why “be compliant” isn’t a requirement, and why maintenance matters as much as deployment.
