“The effect on public infrastructure could be a power outage, or it could be something more serious like a Chernobyl-style catastrophe at a nuclear plant. The problem we often see is that critical infrastructure network operators are notoriously reluctant to introduce security products into their fragile, legacy networks, which leaves the door open to hackers with malicious intent.” Daniel Cohen Sason – SW Manager – IoT Cyber Security at Check Point Software Technologies, Ltd.
