As the technology used to secure our country’s critical infrastructure barrels forward into the modern era, modern vulnerabilities are sure to follow. Critical infrastructure now comprises more than the energy, water, or utilities we expect, and increasing numbers of connected devices serve as new attack vectors to exploit for those threatening our most vital resources.
In this recent episode of SecurityDNA, host Steve Lasky of SecurityInfoWatch.com is joined by Pierre Bourgeix, ESI Convergent’s CEO and Founder, to discuss the widening scope of critical infrastructure, the necessity of cyber awareness and segmented security, and the factors driving business risk in the sector.
Bourgeix: “When you look at the tapestry of critical infrastructure, it’s now grown to incorporate much more. It’s tying into virtually every area.”
