Securing Embedded Systems

“MITRE EMB3D is a global threat framework. It's a new one that is focused on embedded systems in critical infrastructure spaces, such as rail, oil, natural gas, water, wastewater, aerospace, autonomous, UAS. So everybody's familiar with MITRE attack and MITRE attack for ICS. Those only actually record observed adversarial threats. That's it. MITRE EMB3D follows everything from a theoretical [threat], which is academic and theoretical to proof of concept, proof of exploit, to then CWE.” - Niyo Little Thunder Pearson In this episode, Bryson and Niyo discuss Niyo’s project MITRE EMB3D, the problems it’s trying to solve, and how the industry is responding to this groundbreaking framework.

Electricity. Finance. Transportation. Our water supply. In Hack the Plant, podcast host Bryson Bort looks for answers to the question: Does connecting these systems, and others, to the internet leaves us more vulnerable to attacks by our enemies? We often take these critical infrastructure systems for granted, but they’re all becoming increasingly dependent on the internet to function. From the ransomware threats of Colonial Pipeline to the failure of the Texas power grid, it is clear our interconnectivity is also a significant source of risk. Hack the Plant walks through the world of hackers working on the front lines of cyber security and public safety to protect the systems you rely upon every day. Hack the Plant is brought to you by ICS Village and the Institute for Security and Technology. ICS Village is a nonprofit that equips industry experts and policymakers with the tools to better defend our critical infrastructure. We educate people on critical infrastructure security with hands-on examples, not just nerd stuff. Catch us at an event near you! www.icsvillage.com. The Institute for Security and Technology is a nonprofit think tank with the mission to bridge gaps between technology and policy leaders to help solve these emerging security problems together.
