Zero-trust is a good way to prevent hackers from gaining control of our infrastructure and energy industries, expert says.
TechRepublic's Karen Roby spoke with Greg Valentine, solution director for Capgemini, about cybersecurity in the energy sector.
Karen Roby: Greg, we talk a lot about now more than ever, the energy sector and cybersecurity, and people are realizing more and more just how vulnerable different pieces here in our communities, how vulnerable we really are.
The impact you think that will make on getting people in the right mindset and moving forward with cybersecurity.
Karen Roby: Greg, when we talk about how the criminals and hackers, the bad actors have evolved and are moving into a direction where it's if there's nation backed organizations and whatever to where they're going to where they can really cause harm.
It's not just about getting in, getting out, finding someone vulnerable, getting money from them.
