About

Dr. Johnathan Wiltberger is a leading researcher at the intersection of cybersecurity and operational technology, with a primary focus on securing manufacturing industrial control systems (ICS). His work addresses the critical vulnerabilities that arise as legacy ICS—used to monitor and control physical processes—increasingly adopt commercial IT for connectivity and remote access. His most cited paper, "Securing manufacturing industrial control systems" (2020, 12 citations), provides foundational insights into how this convergence exposes critical infrastructure to cyber threats. Dr. Wiltberger’s contributions are pivotal in developing frameworks to protect manufacturing environments from attacks that could disrupt production or compromise safety. His research is widely recognized for bridging the gap between traditional IT security and the unique constraints of ICS, such as real-time operation and legacy hardware. By highlighting the risks of integrating corporate business systems with industrial networks, Dr. Wiltberger has helped shape best practices for securing the backbone of modern industry. His work continues to influence both academic research and practical defense strategies for critical infrastructure.
