Cyber Security Uncut Momentum Media

Cyber Security Uncut presents a new quarterly podcast series with Claroty. In this first episode, the company’s vice-president of cyber safety strategy, Joshua Corman, talks to host Liam Garman to shed light on how cyber criminals can remotely access medical devices and healthcare infrastructure — threatening human safety.
The pair begin the podcast discussing Corman’s experience as a white hat hacker, before analysing the extent to which medical devices can be accessed by cyber criminals. Corman and Garman then discuss how attacks against healthcare providers can be a simple task for some hackers, and those fundamental steps that hospitals and infrastructure providers must take to reduce their threat surface and keep people safe. The podcast wraps up by unpacking the must-need tools for businesses to protect their operations, including Claroty’s asset discovery and proprietary protocol offerings to build a resilient OT network. Future quarterly episodes will feature Claroty subject matter experts providing insight into how businesses can secure cyber physical assets across different industries.

In this episode of the Cyber Security Uncut podcast, Robert Lee, chief executive officer and co-founder of ICS/OT technology provider Dragos, joins Phil Tarrant and Major General (Ret’d) Dr Marcus Thompson to analyse the threat of cyber breaches on national infrastructure.
The podcast begins unpacking Lee’s passion for defending critical civilian infrastructure, before assessing whether Australian companies are prepared to defend their systems from sophisticated state-based attackers. Lee then unpacks the corporate, economic, and physical risks of a cyber attack on Australian infrastructure — from board members being held liable for breaches through to the physical destruction of energy sources. Lee, Thompson, and Tarrant then discuss the myth of isolated systems, observing that industrial systems are almost always connected to a broader network and not immune from penetration. Wrapping up the podcast, Lee provides fundamental lessons to business leaders and discusses how Dragos helps keep businesses safe.
