Listen "Securing The Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT): The Human Element"
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. This is the third episode and we will be focusing on cybersecurity risks posed by humans.This episode explores the crucial role of the human element in securing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The podcast emphasizes that while technology is vital, human actions—both accidental and malicious—often pose the greatest threat to IIoT security. It delves into common vulnerabilities like weak passwords and phishing, and highlights how human vigilance prevented a potential disaster at the Oldsmar water treatment plant. The show proposes a multi-faceted approach to transform human vulnerability into a strong defense, focusing on comprehensive, tailored training, fostering a security-first culture, and implementing strict access controls. Ultimately, people are the most important defense in the evolving landscape of IIoT security. #iiot #cybersecuritySupport the show
