On this Covert Access Team episode, we sit down with Mike Holcomb, Fellow and global lead for ICS/OT cybersecurity at Fluor. Mike’s career spans two decades of securing complex industrial environments—power, manufacturing, and beyond—and teaching practitioners how to do it safely. He also runs mikeholcomb.com, where he publishes hands-on OT/ICS training and resources for defenders, red teamers, and engineers.
We get into the messy middle where physical security meets cyber in OT: vendor remote access, engineering workstations, segmentation that actually works, and running blended exercises without breaking the plant. Mike shares hard-won playbooks for asset visibility, incident response, and working with integrators—plus practical advice for IT pros and physical testers who want to pivot into OT.
