The Defender’s Advantage Podcast

Unique Threats to OT and Cyber Physical Systems

34 min • 15 juli 2020

In the latest episode of Eye on Security, our host Luke McNamara talks
all about the world of operational technology (OT) and cyber physical
systems with one of our foremost experts on the topic: Nathan
Brubaker, Senior Manager of Analysis for Mandiant Threat Intelligence.


Nathan kicked off the chat by explaining what exactly we mean when we
use the term ‘cyber physical.’ They then turned their attention to
related threats. As it turns out, there are far less attempts by
attackers to target these systems than one might believe. Nathan went
on to discuss some of the fundamental differences between OT and
information technology (IT) systems, and then explained how OT is
becoming more similar to IT, which makes those systems more vulnerable
to compromise. Fortunately, even though OT security typically lags
behind that of IT systems, it’s definitely moving forward in the right
direction.
