Episode Synopsis

Welcome to "The Connected Frontier," the podcast exploring the cutting edge of technology and its impact on our world.  Today, we're continuing the conversation on a topic we started in our first episode: securing the Industrial Internet of Things, or IIoT.  In this episode we explore the "invisible war" waged by nation-state Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) against Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems. We explain that these sophisticated adversaries, backed by governments, aim for geopolitical advantage, espionage, and physical sabotage of critical infrastructure like energy grids and manufacturing plants. The podcast delves into their methodical attack lifecycle, from reconnaissance to data exfiltration or disruption, highlighting real-world examples like Stuxnet and the Ukrainian power grid attacks. Finally, we discuss advanced defense strategies, emphasizing proactive threat intelligence, holistic security frameworks, Zero Trust Architecture, and robust incident response to protect national security and public safety.Support the show
