Project Franklin Wants You
Manage episode 513359941 series 2372096
Our critical infrastructure is vulnerable and under attack by nation state actors, either for profit or perhaps even to establish a beachhead for future cyber conflict. During the pandemic, many of our core systems were automated and connected to the internet for remote administration, but this just created a larger attack surface. The federal government hasn’t done nearly enough to protect these systems. Groups like DEF CON Franklin are working to find cyber volunteers to bring our national critical utilities above the ‘cyber poverty line’. Today we’ll explore the problems and solutions with Franklin co-founder Jake Braun, including what we can all do to help.
