Defending Critical Infrastructure
45Generally, we only think of the infrastructure – like the power grid – that’s critical to our society when it isn’t working as it should. But attackers are thinking about it all the time. Our electricity production and distribution, water treatment systems, factories that produce life-saving pharmaceuticals, and so many other critical pieces of our infrastructure depend on networked systems that are vulnerable to hacking. Luckily, people like Rob are also thinking about it, and working to defend it around the clock.
