In this episode, Bob and Amy take an in-depth look at “The State of Critical Infrastructure Resilience,” a report based on a recent survey by Semperis examining cybersecurity vulnerabilities in water and power utilities across the US and UK. The findings reveal that critical infrastructure remains a top target for cyberattacks, particularly from nation-state actors, with many utilities facing repeated intrusions.
One of the report’s most pressing revelations is the frequent compromise of identity systems during these attacks. It also exposes a troubling lack of preparedness among many utility providers, both in terms of resources and response planning. The report calls for a fundamental shift in strategy, urging operators to embrace a resilience-first approach—one that emphasizes proactive response capabilities and secure system recovery to protect public safety and maintain operational continuity.
