What happens when your carefully crafted incident response playbook becomes worthless? Cody Sullivan from OpsBook reveals the brutal truth about tabletop exercises: most organizations are practicing with medieval armor for a drone war. From 70-participant, 6-hour exercises spanning three continents to the harsh reality of insider threats, this conversation exposes the gaps that could leave your organization bleeding when the real attack comes.

Key Topics Covered:

• Why "tribal knowledge" is your organization's biggest security risk
• The insider threat scenario that makes every tabletop exercise go sideways
• How AI is revolutionizing incident response preparation through OpsBook's ontology
• Why your playbooks are useless if hackers have them too
• The "Derek Jeter approach" to cybersecurity preparedness
• From real estate to tech: spotting warning signs before the industry shift

The crew shares fresh insights from a recent school district tabletop that exposed critical single points of failure, while Cody demonstrates how modern organizations are turning decision-making into muscle memory, not just memos. This isn't theory—it's the frontlines of organizational resilience where one overlooked vulnerability could trigger catastrophic failure.

Think you can manage industrial systems like your IT infrastructure? Think again. In this episode of The Audit, Dino Busalachi unpacks the high-stakes complexity of OT-IT convergence—and why your trusty IT playbook flatlines on the plant floor.

Join the IT Audit Labs crew as we dive into the chaos of managing 10,000+ industrial assets across a sprawling landscape of vendors, protocols, and operational rules that laugh in the face of standardization. From Siemens to Rockwell to Honeywell, Dino draws sharp parallels to hospital systems juggling specialized third-party contractors—because in the world of OT, consistency is a luxury and adaptability is survival.

🔧 Key Topics Covered:
• Why OT environments resist IT standardization efforts
• Managing thousands of industrial assets from multiple vendors
• The hospital analogy: treating OT specialists like medical contractors
• Building effective partnerships between OT and IT teams • Real-world challenges of securing industrial control systems

What happens when you cross a Tamagotchi with a Wi-Fi hacking tool? You get the Pwnagotchi—a pocket-sized device that "feeds" on Wi-Fi handshakes and learns from its environment. In this episode, Jayden Traufler and Cameron Birkland join the crew to demonstrate how this deceptively cute device can passively capture encrypted Wi-Fi credentials from any network in range, autonomously gather handshakes, share intelligence with other Pwnagotchis, and operate completely under the radar from conference floors to airplane cabins in ways that might surprise you.

• Key Topics Covered:
• How the Pwnagotchi captures Wi-Fi handshakes through deauthentication attacks
• Why WPA3 networks are immune (and why most networks still aren't using it)
• Building your own Pwnagotchi vs buying a Flipper Zero with Wi-Fi dev board
• Real defense strategies beyond "just turn off your Wi-Fi"
• The legal gray areas of passive Wi-Fi monitoring
• Conference horror stories and the 600-handshake airplane incident

Whether you're a security professional looking to understand emerging threats or someone curious about DIY hacking tools, this episode delivers practical insights you can use to protect your networks today. The Pwnagotchi proves that the most dangerous attacks often come in the most innocent packages.
