Putting a Spotlight on Energy Sector Threats with Corelight's Greg Bell

Adversary Universe Podcast

Cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure have made more headlines in recent years, sparking concern about how these systems are protected. Adversaries are taking aim at older technologies that are both essential to everyday life and difficult to secure.

Our guest for this episode is Greg Bell, chief strategy officer at Corelight. Before he co-founded the network security firm, Greg spent most of his career working in the National Laboratory system, part of the U.S. Department of Energy. He brings his perspective and expertise to this conversation about energy sector threats, the adversaries behind them, and the unique challenges that utility organizations face in detecting and defending against cyberattacks.

There is a scary side to energy sector threats — but there is also an optimistic side. Adam, Cristian, and Greg discuss everything from the history of critical infrastructure threats to the attacks they’re seeing today, the complications of securing energy systems, and collaborative efforts to improve defense. Key to these efforts are partnerships like the one between CrowdStrike and Corelight, which work together to improve network threat detection and response.

Come for the comprehensive look at energy sector threats and stay for Cristian’s energy sector puns in this episode of the Adversary Universe podcast.
