Hardware Hacking - Essential OT Attack Knowledge [the industrial security podcast]

We've been hacked. Everything is down. Or more mundane - there was a power surge and 5% of our cyber gear is fried. How do we get back into operation fastest? Stephen Nichols of Acronis joins us to look at rapid recovery of OT systems - from the mundane to the arcane.

We know there are problems in our security systems, but we can't and shouldn't fix everything. What do we fix? Who decides? How do we explain what's reasonable to people who do decide? Kayne McGladrey, CISOIn Residence at Hyperproof, joins us to explore risk, communication, and a surprising role for insurance.

Yes the device has to be safe to use on patients, and yes it has to produce its results reliably, but patient / data confidentiality is also really important. Naomi Schwartz of Medcrypt joins us to explore the multi-faceted world of medical device cybersecurity - from MRI's to blood sugar testers.

Asset inventory, networks and router / firewall configurations, device criticality - a lot of information. How can we USE this information to make useful decisions about next steps to address cyber risk? Vivek Ponada of Frenos joins us to explore a new kind of OT / industrial digital twin - grab all that data and work it to draw useful conclusions.

We don't have budget to fix the problem, so we accept the risk? Tim McCreight of TaleCraft Security in his (coming soon) book "I don't sign s**t" uses story-telling to argue that front line security leaders should not be accepting multi-billion dollar risks on behalf of the business. We need to escalate those decisions - with often surprising results when we do.
