Cybersecurity is unlike any other Industry or environment I’ve ever covered. But more than the technology, the intriguing players and the somewhat spooky elements surrounding it, is how the things we discuss on this podcast impact nearly every element of our day-to-day lives. 

It’s not just how artificial intelligence is impacting email phishing schemes, but how clicking on that link could let a state-sponsored hacker steel login credentials for obtaining access to an industrial control system that is not only used by a power tool manufacturer, but by a defense contractor or water treatment facility.

The interconnected nature of the industrial sector makes an appreciation for cybersecurity vital to the ongoing safety and success of manufacturing – which, again, impacts nearly every facet of every person’s daily life.

That’s why I enjoy talking to people like Aaron Shraberg, Senior Team Lead at Flashpoint – a leading provider of threat landscape intelligence. The stuff Aaron talks about is frightening, which is another challenge of covering cybersecurity – balancing education with data sharing without fear mongering. 

But I’d encourage you to really wach/listen as Aaron talks about the evolution of threats from China, Russia and Iran, and how cyber threats are converging with physical battlefields to fuel threats thousands of miles from where the missiles are flying. 

The bottom line is – we’re all connected and we’re all impacted, so we need to be prepared - regardless of how far removed you think you are. There's also good news in terms of solutions, which can start with sharing some of this scary information.
