Description

<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellejjablanski/">Danielle Jablanski</a> isn’t your typical OT security expert… she studied genocide in Rwanda, analyzed future water wars for her master’s thesis, and once received a phishing text inviting her to eat grilled crocodile on the beach. Now leading <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/stv/" target="_blank">STV’</a>s OT cybersecurity consulting program and teaching at both <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/school/middlebury-institute/posts/?feedView=all">Middlebury Institute</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/school/dallascollege/">Dallas College</a>, Danielle brings policy depth, technical expertise, and genuine curiosity to oneof the most wide-ranging conversations we’ve ever had.</p><p>We chase every rabbit worth chasing, smart greenhouses, vulnerabilities, food monopolies, insects, data integrity risks, geopolitics, and how food travels. Danielle shares lessons from nuclear security, explains why compromised data is scarier than loss of control, and makes the case for why more security pros should care about what ends up on our plates.</p><p>This is exactly how <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/demoranvillekristin/"><strong>Kristin</strong></a> and <strong>Danielle </strong>talk when the mics aren’t rolling… except this time they were.</p><p>---------------</p><p><strong>Episode Key Highlights</strong></p><p>00:01:03 — Creative Phishing Texts</p><p>00:10:27 — How Kristin and Danielle Met</p><p>00:17:08 — Insects and the Food Chain</p><p>00:28:05 — Monopolies and Single Points of Failure</p><p>00:30:32 — Rat Trap Sensors vs. Robot Pickers</p><p>00:33:46 — Centralization Risk</p><p>00:44:25 — Data Integrity vs. Loss of Control</p><p>00:55:30 — Food as Critical Infrastructure</p><p>01:06:30 — Global Supply Chain and Ports</p><p>01:15:45 — China, Soybeans, and Soft Power</p><p><strong>---------------</strong></p><p>📘 <strong>Sign up</strong> for early updates, exclusive previews, and launch news of Kristin’s book, “<em>Securing What Feeds Us:  Cybersecurity in Food and Agriculture,</em>” <a href="https://www.anzensage.com/publications">here</a>.</p><p><strong>---------------</strong></p><p><strong>🎤 Book Kristin Demoranville to Speak: </strong><a href="https://www.anzensage.com/speaking">website</a> to submit a request.</p><p><strong>---------------</strong></p><p><strong>🎤 Bites and Bytes Podcast Info:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.bitesandbytespodcast.com/">Website</a>: Explore all our episodes, articles, and more on our official website.  </p><p><a href="https://www.bitesandbytespodcast.com/shop">Merch Shop</a>: Show your support with some awesome Bites and Bytes gear!</p><p><a href="https://substack.com/@bitesandbytespodcast">Substack</a>:Stay updated with the latest insights and stories from the world of cybersecurity in the food industry.</p><p><strong>Schedule a Call </strong>with Kristin<a href="https://calendly.com/anzensage/bites-and-bytes-podcast-feedback?month=2025-07">: Share Your Thoughts </a></p><p><u>Socials:</u> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bitesandbytespodcast">TikTok</a>; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bitesandbytespodcast/">Instagram</a>; <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/bitesbytespodcast/">LinkedIn</a>; <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/bitesandbytespod.bsky.social">BlueSky</a></p><p><strong>---------------</strong></p><p><strong>🛡️ About AnzenSage &amp; AnzenOT</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.anzensage.com/"><strong>AnzenSage</strong></a> is a cybersecurity advisory firm specializing in security resilience for the food, agriculture, zoo, and aquarium industries.  AnzenSage offers practical, strategic guidance to help organizations anticipate risks and build resilience.  Learn more about their offerings at <a href="https://www.anzensage.com/">anzensage.com</a>.​</p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://www.anzenot.com/"><strong>AnzenOT</strong></a><strong></strong>helps organizations understand and prioritize operationalrisk faster, without slow or static assessments.
