Joe Slowik on Exposed, Internet-Facing OT

Joe Slowik, Director of Cybersecurity Alerting Strategy at Dataminr, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss the alarming trend of lesser-skilled hacktivist groups leveraging operational technlogy (OT) and cyber-physical systems (CPS) in attacks. 

Many of these exposed devices are easily scannable and accessible online, and attackers are hurdling low barriers to entry such as poor or missing authentication, or insecure, legacy protocols to access assets and either cause disruption or move further into the process or business networks. Often these attacks are carried out without exploits or malware.
