ICS honeypots attract sophisticated snoops. — Research Saturday

Researchers at security firm Cybereason recently set up online honeypots to attract adversaries interested in industrial control system environments. It didn't take long for sophisticated attackers to sniff out the virtual honey and start snuffling around.

Ross Rustici is senior director of intelligence services at Cybereason, and he joins us to share what they learned.

The research is titled ICS Threat Broadens: Nation-state Hackers are no Longer the Only Game in Town. It can be found here:
