In this episode, we break down the growing debate around U.S. cyber operations against Venezuela—and what it means for modern cyber warfare, critical infrastructure security, and geopolitics. The conversation explores how nation-state attacks can target a country’s power grid, the challenges of attributing cyberattacks, and why industrial control systems (ICS/SCADA) remain a high-impact battleground. We also discuss the strategic value (and risks) of disrupting energy infrastructure, how these campaigns compare to other real-world incidents, and what defenders can learn to better protect utilities and national systems.
