OT cybersecurity expert Mike Holcomb joins the Nexus Podcast live from S4 Conference in Miami to discuss how state actors may be leveraging hacktivists to target operational technology (OT). Holcomb has delineated these groups in what he calls a Converged Actor Framework that categorizes threat actors by the impact and frequency of their incidents. A converged actor is potentially the riskiest given the potential for high frequency high impact incidents.

Nexus Podcast: Mike Holcomb on Starting and Succeeding in OT Cybersecurity

Ron Fabela joins the Nexus podcast to discuss his research into low-skilled threat actors targeting operational technology and industrial control systems. Many of these groups operate as hacktivists and carry out less sophisticated defacements and intrusions. While less of a risk, these incidents are still a drain on human resources required to investigate them and decided on mitigation strategies.

Brian Foster, senior advisor for grid security at Southern California Edison, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss his presentation delivered at the S4 Conference on the risks of a hyperconnected grid. Adding a Wi-Fi connection to vulnerable smart meters that are enrolled by customers on a massive scale may allow attackers able to compromise centralized command and control of these devices to issue commands at scale that could result in catastrophic damage.
