This will never not be a completely mind-blowing concept to me! Cheers mate!

Hey Patrick, welcome back!

Physical instability + cybersecurity risks = a new era of grid fragility. We’ve known this for years. The time to adapt is now.

Spain (78% renewables) showed what happens: small fluctuations became a continental emergency. The fix: Synthetic inertia, Grid Forming (GFM) inverters. At Forescout, we showed another threat: insecure solar inverters that attackers could hijack to cause blackouts.

Yeah, just feeling the weight of the era, even more so than in 1984

We aren't here to try and replace what you have. We are here to make the money you have already spent actually work for you. 6/6

Talk to Forescout Technologies Inc. (or me directly) about how you can finally get a handle on *everything* on your network, IT, IoT, OT and IoMT, manageable or unmanageable. You'll be on your way to a real, enforceable #ZeroTrust security architecture. 5/6

If your security strategy only relies on XDR and agent-based solutions, you are leaving the door wide open. These attacks aren't slowing down. You thought it was bad in 2024? This is only getting started! 4/6

This isn’t an isolated event. Threat actors are systematically exploiting unmanaged devices—the very infrastructure that remains invisible to your existing security stack. Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Ivanti, TP-Link, Barracuda, hypervisors, IP cameras—headline after headline, year after year. 3/6

Charles Carmakal, chief technology officer of Mandiant Consulting, says. "Identifying how many devices are compromised is challenging because these devices don't support EDR solutions, so it's more of a manual process across each system and each customer environment." 2/6
