Electricity. Finance. Transportation. Our water supply. In Hack the Plant, podcast host Bryson Bort looks for answers to the question: Does connecting these systems, and others, to the internet leaves us more vulnerable to attacks by our enemies? We often take these critical infrastructure systems for granted, but they’re all becoming increasingly dependent on the internet to function. From the ransomware threats of Colonial Pipeline to the failure of the Texas power grid, it is clear our interconnectivity is also a significant source of risk. Hack the Plant walks through the world of hackers working on the front lines of cyber security and public safety to protect the systems you rely upon every day. Hack the Plant is brought to you by ICS Village and the Institute for Security and Technology. ICS Village is a nonprofit that equips industry experts and policymakers with the tools to better defend our critical infrastructure. We educate people on critical infrastructure security with hands-on examples, not just nerd stuff. Catch us at an event near you! www.icsvillage.com. The Institute for Security and Technology is a nonprofit think tank with the mission to bridge gaps between technology and policy leaders to help solve these emerging security problems together.

“I'd say this is a project about nonprofit cybersecurity…but it's also about how cities can better protect infrastructure that isn't their own, and how cities can actually play a much bigger role in the cyber defense of their own communities.” - Sarah Powazek

“I started Hack the Plant in August 2020, driven by a deep conviction that we need to do something about the problem of critical infrastructure assurance: from education to action. Over 4 years and 40 episodes, we’ve hosted industry giants and practitioners, members of Congress and policymakers, and hackers and scientists; because with technology it’s the people, those on the front-lines that are making the difference.” - Bryson Bort Bryson closes out season four with a look back at the work we’ve done so far.
