In this episode of Cybersecurity Under Pressure: Real Attacks, Real Problems, we dive deep into the fascinating and destructive world of real-life cyber threats that have reshaped our global digital landscape.

Join us as we explore the infamous Stuxnet worm, a highly sophisticated malware that infiltrated air-gapped industrial control systems to sabotage physical infrastructure, proving that cyberattacks can have devastating real-world consequences.

We also unpack the massive Mirai botnet, which hijacked everyday IoT devices—like cameras and routers—by exploiting weak default passwords to launch some of the largest DDoS attacks in internet history. Finally, we discuss AMNESIA:33, a critical set of vulnerabilities hidden within open-source TCP/IP stacks that silently exposed millions of connected devices and complex supply chains worldwide.

Beyond the attacks, we analyze the real problems organizations face today. From the hidden risks of firmware modifications to the dangerous illusion of safety created by 'compliance-based' paperwork that fails to guarantee actual operational security.

Tune in to discover why shifting to outcome-based security and building robust embedded defenses is no longer optional, but essential for survival in today's threat landscape
