Show Notes
While most people think of cyberattacks as stolen passwords or downed websites, the real battlefield is the physical layer of critical infrastructure. This episode dives into the world of Operational Technology (OT), where state-level actors target power grids, water plants, and nuclear facilities through sophisticated supply chain interdiction and "living off the land" techniques. We pull back the curtain on why physical air gaps are often just a myth and how legacy systems from the 1990s remain the soft underbelly of modern national security.
