Hack the Plant

Idaho National Labs and the Next Generation of Critical Infrastructure Security


Listen Later

For today’s episode, I’m joined by Zach Tudor, the Associate Laboratory Director at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). INL is a Department of Energy national laboratory, is the nation's leading center for nuclear energy research and development. Zach is responsible for INL’s Nuclear Nonproliferation, Critical Infrastructure Protection and Defense Systems missions.

We discuss how INL partners with the private sector to test challenges to critical infrastructure, and the cutting edge work INL is doing to secure the next generation of critical infrastructure.

"Honeywell has been one of the big players that has been working with us for quite a while. And Hitashi. Schneider Electric.  They will provide us some of their systems that are critical in energy critical infrastructure, industrial control systems, and we will tear it down in a methodological process that we have developed here…[to] start building an understanding of where the risks are and the supply chain of our critical energy infrastructure." - Zach Tudor

Other topics we cover: What work is INL doing to secure the next generation of critical infrastructure?  How can we make our critical infrastructure systems more resilient?  How is data security managed with emerging technologies such as 5G, or self-driving cars? What strategies should the government and private industry use to categorize risk and mitigate it in a way that actually has measurable impact?  

 Join us to learn more.
