Security Breach: Threat Landscape Update

Hackers are smarter, industrial systems are tough, and there's still no patch for humans.

Discussing the ever-expanding threat landscape is something we do a lot on Security Breach, but this episode is dedicated exclusively to topics like zero-day vulnerabilities, nation-state threats, phishing schemes, ransomware, and of course, the role artificial intelligence continues to play in making the good guys smarter and the bad guys tougher to pin down.

But we’re not doing to dwell on the doom and gloom, we’ll also touch on the growing number of solutions and strategies that can help ensure your OT environment is as secure as possible.

To help guide us on this journey, we’ll first hear from Chad LeMaire at ExtraHop, followed by Chester (Chet) Wisniewski at Sophos. Watch/listen as we discuss:

  • Llegacy and human-based vulnerabilities.
  • Ransomware.
  • Deepfakes.
  • Patch management.
  • Supply chain defenses.
  • Social engineering ploys.
