Listen Later

Today, we've got a special episode to highlight a really neat initiative that’s been in the works for awhile. My guests are Bryson Bort and Tom VanNorman.

Bryson is the Founder of SCYTHE, a start-up building a next generation attack emulation platform, and GRIMM, a cybersecurity consultancy, and Co-Founder of the ICS Village, a non-profit advancing awareness of industrial control system security. He is a Senior Fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Cyber Statecraft Initiative, the National Security Institute, and an Advisor to the Army Cyber Institute. As a U.S. Army Officer, he served as a Battle Captain and Brigade Engineering Officer in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom before leaving the Army as a Captain. He was recognized as one of the Top 50 in Cyber in 2020 by Business Insider.

Tom leads the CyPhy Product group at GRIMM, where his primary focus is securing Industrial Control Systems and the networking of such systems. Tom brings an unparalleled level of operational knowledge and experience, as he has been working in the Operational Technology (OT) field for almost three decades. He also has considerable knowledge in constructing Cyber Physical testing environments for OT systems.

Tom co-founded the ICS Village, a non-profit organization focused on Control System security and awareness. He is also retired from the Air National Guard, where he worked in Cyber Warfare Operations.

ICS Village is holding Def Con 29, a 100% virtual event that takes place Aug 6th-8th. There are sessions and workshops covering all aspects of ICS.
