ICS security, Blue Team Con and security work in the Air Force Reserve | Guest Lesley Carhart

Published: Aug. 21, 2023, 6 p.m.

Lesley Carhart of Dragos, also known as Hack4Pancakes on social media, is a lifelong breaker and builder of things, and their insights on the deep mechanics of Industrial Control Systems are an absolute must-hear for any of you even considering this space. Carhart also talks about their keynote at this year\u2019s Blue Team Con, the differences between incident response in the military vs. the private sector, and why standard cybersecurity studies won\u2019t take you as far in ICS as it will to learn how train track switchers work. Seriously, this is one of the best episodes I\u2019ve ever been a part of, and I can\u2019t wait for you to hear it!
