Episode #57: Claroty’s Galina Antova on the global infrastructure war & building an $100M OT security juggernaut

Episode notes

This past weekend, the New York Times posted an article explaining the United States is scrambling to clean government systems from a deep, pervasive infiltration of the country’s infrastructure by the Chinese. Much like the Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, the intent appears to be to disrupt any U.S. action that would be a response to Chinese military action in Taiwan. The role of nation state actors in driving the threat landscape has brought us to a place where the lines between physical and cybersecurity are no longer blurry, but simply erased. Galina Antova, founder and Chief Business Officer of Claroty, shares her expertise in operational technology (OT) security with us in an hour long interview in the latest episode of Security Voices. We begin by walking through the recent industrial security threat landscape with an emphasis on INCONTROLLER/Pipedream and discuss the impact of the Russian/Ukrainian war, tracing its origins back to a landmark attack in 2015.
