Episode Description

What if the key to stopping cyberattacks before they happen isn’t chasing malware, but outsmarting it with extreme network visibility and never-forgetting threat intelligence?

In this episode, Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion, explained that the company focuses on extreme network visibility, maintaining institutional memory of threats, and blocking malicious communications to prevent cyberattacks, including zero-day threats. He emphasized the importance of monitoring both inbound and outbound traffic, as well as internal traffic, to prevent harmful activity from causing damage. Looking ahead, Intrusion is prioritizing the protection of critical infrastructure, particularly older operational technology in utilities and manufacturing that wasn’t designed for modern cybersecurity challenges. Drawing from his experience digitizing GM’s manufacturing processes, Scott advised new graduates to remain open to possibilities and explore opportunities beyond their initial focus.

Tune in to hear how Tony Scott’s team protects critical infrastructure, stops zero-day attacks, and gives advice for anyone starting a career in technology!
