When you hit a milestone like 50, you need to take a few minutes to reflect. On this very special episode, Gary Cohen and Tyler Wall look back at what they’ve learned, discuss what has surprised them and rate some cybersecurity movies.

Our top podcast episode of Season 3 is back in the spotlight, and it's a must-listen!

Join us as we revsit our time meeting with Danielle Jablanski, exploring the exciting future of cybersecurity!.

We explore the fascinating realm of smart cities and their development, while also delving deep into Danielle's expertise in OT security challenges and navigating legacy technology hurdles.

In this episode, our host, Aaron Crow, explores the intriguing world of OT cybersecurity products.

This episode explores the key differences between IT and OT, the challenges faced in OT environments, and how some IT products can actually be adapted for OT use.

Aaron explains why availability and safety take precedence in OT settings, from power plants to manufacturing lines, and how traditional IT cybersecurity measures need to be tailored for these unique environments. He also discusses the importance of understanding protocols, implementing multi-layered defenses, and leveraging advancements in cybersecurity tools.

Tune in as we unravel the distinct intricacies of protecting our critical infrastructures and discover how IT and OT worlds continue to converge.

CIRCIA stands for the "Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act". But what does it really mean? Let's find out with your hosts Kip Boyle, CISO with Cyber Risk Opportunities, and Jake Bernstein, Partner with K&L Gates.

We sat down with Scott Sheahan, the owner of Rustic Security, to learn from his rich background in the automotive cybersecurity world and embedded software development.

Dr. Bilyana Lilly,  an expert on geopolitics and Russia’s codification of information warfare as a strategy, says that the war in Ukraine has only temporarily delayed Russia’s activity against the West in cyberspace. On this episode of the Nexus podcast, she reinforces the idea that despite the fact that Russia is operating under severe resource constraints, CISOs should be preparing for the inevitable. 

“I think it’s important to identify the conditions and the constraints that currently the Russian government is currently experiencing. Because once these constraints are lifted then I think we’ll see an increase in cyber activity, which gives us some time to prepare,” Lilly said. “That’s what I think we should be doing right now. I think we shouldn’t be letting our guard down because I think those attacks are coming.”

Dale Peterson interviews Rob Lee on the S4 Main Stage. They cover a lot of ground and Rob is never shy about sharing his opinions and analysis. They discuss:

• Rob’s first S4
• PIPEDREAM deployed v. employed distinction … and why 2 years later is it still the most dangerous ICS malware?
• Are we really more homogenous?
• What makes a group something that Rob/Dragos tracks as an ICS focused attacker?
• If the answer to intel is do the basics, do I need intel?
• What ICS specific data was VOLTZITE exfiltrating?
• What countries are targeting critical infrastructure? Is it realistic to expect any country to not target its adversaries CI?
• Threat actors focused on manufacturing
• How should an asset owner measure the effectiveness of their detection solution?
