Our nation's critical infrastructure - from electrical grids to water treatment plants to oil pipelines - is at constant risk of cyberattacks. With many of these systems run by older, out-of-date networks, the need for innovative cybersecurity solutions has never been more essential to keep the lights on, the water flowing and our communities running. On this episode, we talk to National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) cybersecurity research engineer Zoe Dormuth to learn more about how we combine the old with the new to safeguard our critical networks and infrastructure.

Idaho National Labs: Cyber-Informed Engineering

The relationship between IT and cybersecurity is more complicated than one may think. On this episode, we sit down with SNC systems security manager, Ian Perry, a recent U.S. Space Force retiree, to discuss how computer engineering, automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence are driving innovation while the cyber threats to these systems continue to grow.
