Our podcast guest this week is Espen Endal, previous mnemonic colleague and currently OT Security Analyst at the Norwegian energy sector CERT: KraftCERT/InfraCERT.
InfraCERT is an ISAC (Information Sharing and Analysis Center) and an IRT (Incident Response Team). Mainly working to update their members about relevant vulnerabilities and threats to make them able to better detect and respond to digital attacks. They are also part of the Norwegian national response organisation.
During their conversation, Robby and Espen discuss KraftCERT/InfraCERT's annual threat report, what they consider the most serious threats for their member organisations, both long term and short term, and what techniques they often see being used against their members.
Espen also talks about the push to the cloud, the trade-off this entails particularly in these sectors, as well as the impact NIS and eventually NIS2 will have on their members.
