On this August 12, 2025 episode of The Brewing Storm podcast, we bring you crucial intelligence on today's interconnected risks for your preparedness. The Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released seven high-severity advisories detailing widespread systemic cyber vulnerabilities across critical infrastructure, including energy, rail, transport, and healthcare, potentially leading to physical disruptions and cascading failures. Simultaneously, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported ongoing inflationary pressure, with wage gains still outpacing productivity increases, resulting in a high-pressure economic environment marked by elevated costs and expensive borrowing. We discuss the real-world implications of these digital infrastructure risks and economic pressures, offering tangible preparedness steps for healthcare, supply chains, and financial security, stressing the importance of integrated strategies to navigate simultaneous failures across different critical areas.
