Digital Threats and Political Currents: How Crypto and Cybersecurity Are Redefining the National Landscape

Exploring the intersection of cryptocurrency, political influence, and the urgent need for cyber resilience in critical infrastructure

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.
