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.

Reliability and Risks of the North American Power Grid
“Compliance and enforcement are necessary tools in our toolkit, but we have a much broader vision and mission that's really focused on a highly reliable and secure North American bulk power system. And those standards are the floor, but there's so much more we can do. And the biggest tool in our toolkit is outreach and education.” - Sara Patrick
Bryson interviews Sara on her work leading the Midwest Reliability Organization to identify, prioritize and assure effective and efficient mitigation of risks to the security of the North American bulk power system.
