Host Jeff Edwards talks with Sarah Flukes, CTO of Admeritia, about a simple but powerful idea: cyber decision diagrams. Born from real-world work in water utilities and industrial sites, these function-oriented maps turn complex OT/ICS environments into clear, shared understanding—for security, operations, incident response, and design.

In this episode

• Why traditional network/asset maps fail engineers—and what “function-first” fixes
• Using diagrams for OT/ICS risk, IR restart plans, and security-by-design
• Cognitive effectiveness: diagrams people actually understand and use
• Free, no-login tool and why data stays local (no tracking)
• How SMBs and critical infrastructure can start today
