Zero Trust Roadmap for Critical Infrastructure | SecureWorld 2025


Listen Later

Cyber threats to critical infrastructure are no longer hypothetical — they’re already inside the walls. In this special SecureWorld session, Amy Yee (Chief Digital Transformation Officer at C3SA, Chief Digital Officer at Relevantz, and host of Wired for Change) breaks down a practical Zero Trust roadmap designed for OT and ICS environments.

With a unique comic-book “villain persona” framework, Amy brings to life the real adversaries targeting energy, water, transportation, and healthcare systems — from state-sponsored groups like Volt Typhoon and Cyber Av3ngers, to ransomware crews behind Colonial Pipeline–style attacks, to precision saboteurs modeled on Stuxnet/TRITON.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why every country defines “critical infrastructure” differently — and why adversaries don’t care.

  • A five-year timeline of global CI cyberattacks (2020–2025).

  • The five systemic challenges facing OT and ICS security.

  • How insecure legacy protocols (IEC-104, DNP3, Modbus) widen the attack surface.

  • A step-by-step Zero Trust roadmap aligned with SANS ICS Critical Controls.

  • The four cyber villain personas — Sleeper Agent, Saboteur, Loud Intruder, Extortionist — and how Zero Trust layers stop them.

  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them in CI cybersecurity programs.

This isn’t theory — it’s a roadmap you can apply right now to strengthen resilience, break down silos, and protect the systems everyone depends on.
