ICS Village & CISA Talk DEFCON And The Future Of Critical Infrastructure | Bryson Bort & Bryan Ware

People around the world rely on local, state, national - and sometimes international - services enabled by critical infrastructure and related devices, systems, and applications. Sometimes they realize it - sometimes not. Many times, the services are taken for granted, only noticed when they go offline or otherwise malfunction.

The bottom line, humanity is dependent upon critical infrastructure and we need to take an active role to ensure all stakeholders and leaders recognize the cyber risk it possesses such that proper risk mitigation, attack protection and incident response measures are identified and implemented.

That's the goal both of our guests are driving during this conversation: Bryan Ware from the government, public sector perspective, and Bryson Bort from the commercial, private sector perspective.

As was evident during the conversation the current and future states of cybersecurity for our IT, OT, ICS and critical infrastructure at large depends on raising awareness, support research, enabling security-by-design at the directly at development layer, and interconnectivity between critical infrastructure elements (water, power, health, travel, etc.) AND between critical infrastructure constituents (government, academia, commercial, and society).

There's too much to recap here in this very important conversation. Have a listen, enjoy, share, and then spend some time with the ICS Village team and the CISA team as the conversations continue in both places. Of course, we'll be part of those conversations as well - it's far too important a topic to sit this one out.
