A personal site

Abhinav Roy

Industrial cyber security, in a personal capacity: the things I write, build and say in my own time, about the people who run and protect industrial sites. Nothing here is connected to, reviewed by or speaking for any employer, and nothing here is for sale.

What is here

Daily and weekly · free

Industrial Cyber Brief

A personal project: dozens of public sources read every morning, AI-filtered for industrial relevance against published rules, checked by me, the top ten sent at 10 AM IST, with a weekly edition on Mondays. Each story mapped to the Purdue level and the person who should act.

Free

Executive report

Each issue as a one-page briefing for leadership, printable, with the same labelled reading.

Occasional

Notes

Longer thoughts on industrial cyber security and on what the daily reading teaches.

By invitation

Speaking

Industrial cyber security for mixed audiences, in a personal capacity: c0c0n 2026 ("AI Meets OT"), the Observer Research Foundation (AI and the future of work), the Cyber AI Risk Summit, Kuala Lumpur, January 2027.

About me

I am an OT/ICS security operations leader with more than a decade in critical infrastructure, energy and manufacturing, based in Bangalore, India. I have built and run round-the-clock detection and response for critical-infrastructure operators across several regions, built detection libraries aligned to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS and IEC 62443, and handled major incidents personally.

The Brief started as a habit: reading dozens of sources before the first meeting and translating each one for people who do not have the time. Now it does that once, in public, for anyone who runs or protects an industrial site. The rules it follows are published, the sources are named, and what the AI infers is labelled as inferred.

Recognition: Enterprise Security Champion, The Economic Times Enterprise Security Awards 2026; Security Transformation Leader of the Year, Future Tech Summit & Awards 2026. Credentials: CISM; ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Fundamentals Specialist; CEH v14; Executive Programme in Business Management, IIM Calcutta (in progress).

The rules I keep

  • Personal, in my own time. Nothing here is connected to, reviewed by or speaking for any employer, and nothing learned inside one is used.
  • Free, and not for sale. No advertising, no sponsorship, no services offered, nothing sold.
  • Facts and judgement, kept apart. The source is named; scores are quoted, never guessed; what the AI infers is labelled as inferred.
  • A human in charge. AI does the reading and the first draft; I decide what goes out.
  • Open about the method. The rules, the sources and the corrections are published.
