Risk and Kinetic Consequences - with Paul Smith

Skilled penetration testers are some of the more specialized people within the information security industry. When it comes to safely testing kinetic systems the pool of talented ethical hackers shrinks again but does include Paul Smith who has written a brand new book on the subject.

An ICS security specialist before it was a recognized specialty, Paul Smith has been a field operator, security tester, product manager, ICS vulnerability researcher and more. This episode explores risk consideration when impacts are measured in environmental damage and human life rather than records in a database. 

Mr. Smith's new book, "Pentesting Industrial Control Systems: An ethical hacker's guide to analyzing, compromising, mitigating and securing industrial processes" , will be released November 9th 2021.
