Cyber Attacks on Physical Infrastructure: Protecting SCADA and ICS Systems

Digital network attacks that can blow up generators, shut down power grids, or damage nuclear facilities seem like the stuff of science fiction. However, we currently live in a world where nation-states launch just such attacks against one another, and may escalate them in the future. In this episode, Nachreiner interviews an industry expert from Alstom Grid about SCADA and ICS systems, and the ramifications of digital attacks against physical infrastructure. Nachreiner also joins two other WatchGuard security experts to identify the Security Story of the Month. They talk about stolen digital certificates, Internet Explorer zero day, and a big network breach, to decide which story has the greatest ramifications for the industry. Join us for another exciting episode of Radio Free Security.
