“So many times, with the amount of software that is in critical systems and critical IT systems, vulnerabilities will be discovered in various software that might be used in multiple locations. But you may not understand that you have that software in your environment, or you may not have the context to know whether or not it is actually vulnerable because of the new vulnerabilities that have been reported.” -Zach Tudor
Zach Tudor of Idaho National Laboratory (INL) joins this episode of Hack the Plan[e]t. INL is a Department of Energy National Laboratory, and is the nation's leading center for nuclear energy research and development. In this episode, we discuss ways INL collaborates with other agencies and the private sector to keep our supply chain and critical infrastructure systems secure. How does the government, through INL and other agencies, work with the private sector to understand and test risks to our infrastructure?
