Electricity. Finance. Transportation. Our water supply. In Hack the Plant, podcast host Bryson Bort looks for answers to the question: Does connecting these systems, and others, to the internet leaves us more vulnerable to attacks by our enemies? We often take these critical infrastructure systems for granted, but they’re all becoming increasingly dependent on the internet to function. From the ransomware threats of Colonial Pipeline to the failure of the Texas power grid, it is clear our interconnectivity is also a significant source of risk. Hack the Plant walks through the world of hackers working on the front lines of cyber security and public safety to protect the systems you rely upon every day.
Hack the Plant is brought to you by ICS Village and the Institute for Security and Technology.
ICS Village is a nonprofit that equips industry experts and policymakers with the tools to better defend our critical infrastructure. We educate people on critical infrastructure security with hands-on examples, not just nerd stuff. Catch us at an event near you! www.icsvillage.com.
The Institute for Security and Technology is a nonprofit think tank with the mission to bridge gaps between technology and policy leaders to help solve these emerging security problems together. Learn more at securityandtechnology.org.

“The White House has been trying to get their arms around solutions for 25 years. If you look back at the very earliest White House document (Presidential Decision Directive 63), it came out in 1998. They're focused on critical infrastructure. They say, within five years, most of America’s critical infrastructure will be secure, as if it was a one off as if we could just get it right once, and then it would just be secure. But of course, we have intelligent adversaries, and we keep inventing new technology.”
-Jason Healey
Jason Healey, a Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University’s School for International and Public Affairs, joins us for this episode of Hack the Plant. We discuss an article he recently published at the Lawfare Institute, looking at 25 years of White House cyber policies, from the Clinton to the Biden Administrations. What changes have we made in our regulatory approach over the past 25 years? What are current strengths - and threats - in our cyber defense systems? Join us to learn more.
