Most of the incidents they investigate are financial-based crimes like ransomware, followed by insiders who know how to cause the most mayhem, and state-sponsored attacks trying to get a foothold or backdoor into ICS systems so they can launch future attacks.____________________________GuestLesley CarhartDirector of ICS Cybersecurity Incident Response at Dragos [@DragosInc]On Twitter | https://twitter.com/hacks4pancakesOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/lcarhart/____________________________HostDeb RadcliffOn ITSPmagazine

A hacker war seventeen years in the making erupts after GlobeCom takes over the world through human chip implants. As dozens of hacker strike teams around the world attempt to relieve GlobeCom of its iron grip on humanity through a coordinated attack on its data centers, Cy is gravely injured and her husband is killed in the attack. At his funeral, Cy learns the hacker clans are now going after her secret spouse, a chief security officer from GlobeCom's China hub who has been anonymously feeding the clans inside information to aid their cause. Without any idea the China hub's CSO is their secret source of information, the hackers leave in the middle of the night to intercept him at the DC hub. Cy realizes they are most likely walking into a turf war between global powers with deep resources and state-of-the-art weaponry. With time running out, Cy must dispatch another team to rescue her secret husband and the clan members converging in DC before she loses nearly everyone she holds dear. In this exciting cyberthriller, investigative reporter Deb Radcliff tells a gripping story that raises important questions around invasions of privacy in a global bid for power through the use of technology.
Deb has written a thriller series about an evil corporation called GlobeCom that takes over the world through human chip implants and the hackers who rise up against it to break its backbones and its grip on humanity. In it, she sticks very close to technology and hacks in use today to show the ramifications of tech over reach and couch the hackers as heroes. Her characters are drawn from hackers and agents she's met throughout her career and they have reviewed and approved the story. She is currently wrapping up her second book in the series, which delves more into AI and machine learning. She has written for a general audience, and the story is fast-paced and entertaining with reviewers saying her style is akin to Lee Child.
