Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern/3:00 p.m. Central, I will be a guest on The Grid Podcast Episode 6: “The State of Control System Cybersecurity”. The Grid Podcast can be found here.
Operational technology networks are being attacked with a plethora of ransomware attacks. What is not so evident is that control systems are also being impacted as control system field devices have no cyber forensics nor is there training to recognize a control system incident as being cyber-related.

There have been control system cyber incidents in every sector with significant physical impacts. Examples include water systems overflowing, electric outages, food processing systems being poisoned, ship collisions, train collisions, refinery explosions, etc. Moreover, physics-based attacks that can bring the grid down for 9-18 months are not being addressed by cyber defenders.
The podcast will discuss control system cybersecurity issues and respond to questions. Join us live and ask me questions in the comment section.
