"Do you have an [cybersec] incident response plan?" "Yeah!" "Cool...do your employees know about it?" Many companies *think* they're prepared for a cybersecurity incident but actually aren't. Ashley Van Hoesen & Leah Dodson spoke about what your company can do to be prepared in our Halloween Cybersecurity Special!

I think automation is a much more fulfilling career than working at a large tech company. You get to solve complex problems, can work with both hardware and software, and get to see how the sausage is made (sometimes literally!) for a ton of things you use in your daily life. The one drawback compared to big tech/typical computer science programming type jobs is it has a much higher barrier to entry. Yes you can use things like Inductive Automation's Maker Edition of Ignition for free SCADA development and run things like TwinCat or Codesys for effectively free PLC development. That said, interfacing with actual hardware and processes can be difficult at home and working with a process to automate is where a lot of the learning happens. I'm thinking more along the lines of motors, pumps, valves, etc. These can all be set up with hobbyist hardware and a Raspberry Pi, although there is another learning curve on the electrical side to step that up to industrial hardware. You can do most anything in big tech with a laptop and an internet connection, however you also would need to build a process or a simulator to get your hands on the full scope of automation. Maybe it's time to build some simulators folks can use to get a leg up on learning automation ??

We’re plotting for OT SCADA CON 2025

Jealous IT engineers will like OT SCADA CON too... P.S. - ticket prices go up Jan 1, so if you're planning to come, they will never be cheaper: https://lnkd.in/gih9Tf44 (Thanks Rob Michael for this very flattering meme of one of our organizers, Emily Merritt)
