Dawn Cappelli
Summary: Dawn Cappelli is Director of OT-CERT at Dragos, a team that provides free ICS/OT cybersecurity resources for asset owners and operators, with a focus on small and medium-sized businesses that lack the resources or expertise to address rising OT risks. She was CISO for Rockwell Automation from 2016 to 2022 after serving as Director, Insider Risk, previously founded and directed Carnegie Mellon's CERT Insider Threat Center, and began her career programming nuclear power plants for Westinghouse.
Bottom line: The person running a free OT-CERT resource program for the ICS community spent six years as a CISO and built Carnegie Mellon's insider threat center - a reminder that the SMB asset owners Dragos says struggle most with OT risk are the same ones whose defenses a former insider-risk specialist is now trying to shore up.
