On this week\u2019s episode, a much requested Make It Make Sense: the Colonial Pipeline crisis.

On May 7 2021, the Colonial Pipeline, a fuel pipeline operating out of Houston, Texas, and serving 45% of the US east coast, was shut down, due to hackers infiltrating its systems and impacting equipment critical to the operation of the pipeline.

The resultant impacts \u2013 everything from fuel shortages to flight disruptions to increased hacking activity (industry agnostic) \u2013 were a stark reminder of the criticality of infrastructure in our day to day lives. And how quickly we fall apart when infrastructure is compromised.

The Colonial Pipeline crisis is a story where all the warnings signs were there, and yet the risk still manifested. On today\u2019s episode, I\u2019ll take you through what happened. The impacts. How it was resolved. And I will bring you the lessons learned. Lessons not just for our organizations, but lessons for us as humans.
