Episode 93: Things that go bang!

The Cloud Architects Podcast

Have you heard the story of malware that targets programmable logic controllers (PLCs) on industrial systems and causing fast-spinning centrifuges to tear themselves apart? How about the disgruntled employee in Australia who tampered with a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and released 265,000 gallons (~1M l) of sewage from a waste management plant? In this episode we're joined by Operational Technology (OT) Security expert Roger Hill as we discuss OT security, the convergence of OT and IT and how we can defend against OT / IOT attacks. As the Founder of Hillstrong Group Security, Roger Hill brings over 30 years of deep expertise in industrial automation and cybersecurity, specializing in OT GRC and cybersecurity for manufacturing and critical infrastructure. Throughout his career, he's consistently tackled the most pressing challenges that CISOs face in securing Operational Technology (OT) environments within the ever-evolving industrial landscape.
