In this episode of PING, We're talking to Leslie Daigle from the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA) again, discussing GCA's honeynet project. Leslie spoke with PING back in January 2024, and in this episode we re-visit things. Honeynets (or Honey farms) are deliberately weakly protected systems put online, to see what kinds of bad traffic exist out in the global Internet, where they come from and what kinds of attack they are mounting. In the intervening period GCA has continued to develop its honeyfarm, building out it's own systems images, and can now capture more kinds of bad traffic. They have also bedded in the MANRS community, which is now supported by GCA worldwide. In this episode, Leslie is actually asking more questions than providing answers. If we accept that there is now a persisting problem at scale, what kinds of approaches do we need to take to “get on top” of bad traffic? It used to be we thought of this in terms of technical solutions but increasingly Leslie feels we now need to broaden the conversation and take this into Public policy and governance communities, to understand what kinds of social cost we can bear, and what socially driven objectives we want to drive to. The problem is, this is one of the tasks technologists are often the least equipped to do: Talk to people. GCA is showcasing the AIDE system, reachable at https://gcaaide.org/ as a way of opening up the conversation with national strategic policy makers, and the wider community. It's a simple economy & region model summarising the state of honeynet detected bad traffic levels worldwide, and helps to set an agenda with which the individual ISPs and routing-active community can engage, for their locus of control.

Podcast: PrOTect It All (LS 26 · TOP 10% what is this?)Episode: From Y2K to 2038: Uncovering Time Bombs in OT and ICS Systems with Pedro UmbelinoPub date: 2025-06-09Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow welcomes Pedro Umbelino, Principal Research Scientist at BitSight, for an insightful and lively conversation recorded shortly after they met at RSA. Pedro shares stories of his early days in computing, from scavenging parts as a kid to teaching himself programming on a ZX Spectrum. The discussion quickly dives into critical cybersecurity issues across the interconnected worlds of IT and OT, focusing on dramatic vulnerabilities in Automatic Tank Gauges (ATGs) at gas stations—exposing ways attackers could cause significant physical damage and even spark major operational disruptions, all through insecure legacy protocols.   Pedro also brings attention to a ticking time bomb: the “Year 2038” problem, where millions (if not billions) of 32-bit systems might fail due to an epoch time rollover—an issue that could have consequences reminiscent of Y2K, but on a potentially broader scale, especially for OT and critical infrastructure.   Throughout the episode, Aaron and Pedro share practical strategies, lessons from the field, and the sobering reminder that many of these vulnerabilities are still lurking below the surface. The conversation highlights the importance of awareness, collaboration across industry and ISPs, and a proactive approach to understanding and hardening both new and legacy systems. Whether you're an OT engineer, a security researcher, or just curious about what it means to truly “protect it all,” this episode offers a fascinating look at the evolving landscape of digital and physical security risks.   Key Moments: 06:37 Letting Go of Old Memories 15:12 Refueling Spill Risks Concern Technicians 17:37 Understanding Risks Beyond Fear 23:24 Internet Exposure Risks for OT Devices 32:17 Global Cyber Incident Response Challenges 35:30 Legacy System Challenges 39:19 Unidentified Cyber Assets Risk 48:41 "Understanding the Apocalypse Project's Challenges" 49:31 Testing System Vulnerabilities at Scale 55:12 Tech Vulnerabilities Analogous to Y2K 01:03:08 Challenges in OT Modernization   About the Guest: Pedro Umbelino currently holds the position of Principal Research Scientist at Bitsight Technologies and brings over a decade of experience in dedicated security research. ⁤His eclectic curiosity has led to the uncovering of vulnerabilities spanning a gamut of technologies, highlighting critical issues in multiple devices and software, ranging from your everyday smartphone to household smart vacuums, from the intricacies of HTTP servers to the nuances of NFC radio frequencies, from vehicle GPS trackers to protocol-level denial of service attacks.  Pedro is committed to advancing cybersecurity knowledge and has shared his findings at prominent conferences, including Bsides Lisbon, DEF CON, Hack.lu and RSA.

En 2002, en plena era de la burbuja tecnológica, Luis Álvarez-Sestelo funda Optare Solutions, con la convicción de que la tecnología es fundamental para el progreso, pero que el ser humano es quien lo hace posible. Más de dos décadas después desarrollan proyectos en más de 30 países. Sin embargo el crecimiento de la empresa no ha hecho que pierda la especialización, según comenta el invitado, “a veces el crecimiento te puede tender a generalizar, que es lo que evitamos”. Optare sitúa el valor humano como epicentro de su propuesta y, gracias a su profundo conocimiento del sector, junto con la aplicación de metodologías, tecnologías y procesos contrastados, aporta a sus clientes, soluciones tecnológicas avanzadas. Colabora con carriers e ISPs en el diseño y desarrollo de sistemas que les permiten ganar agilidad y eficiencia en entornos de alta competitividad. En octubre del 2024, la compañía firmó su debut en el BME Growth, con un precio de 6,25 euros la acción y una capitalización de referencia de 22 millones. Además, ha sido nominada por BME este mismo 27 de mayo como una de las compañías que representarán a los mercados españoles en los European Small & Mid-Cap Awards, lo que para Luis supone “una gran satisfacción”.

"For the first time in over a decade, bots now outnumber humans on the internet — and a growing percentage are built to defraud, disrupt, and deceive." — Tim Chang, Global VP & GM, Application Security, Thales In a sobering conversation with Technology Reseller News, Tim Chang of Thales shared key insights from the 2025 Imperva Bad Bot Report, a deep dive into the increasingly dangerous world of automated internet traffic. According to the report, 51% of all web traffic in 2024 was generated by bots, marking the first time bot traffic has surpassed human traffic. Even more concerning, 37% of all traffic is now classified as “bad bot” activity — a significant increase from 32% the previous year. Thales, a global leader in digital identity and cybersecurity with over 80,000 employees worldwide, acquired Imperva two years ago. Together, the teams behind the Imperva Threat Research division are shining a light on the surge in bot-driven attacks — from simple web scrapers to polymorphic, AI-enhanced bad bots capable of account takeovers and API abuse. Telecom Under Attack Among the most targeted sectors? Telecom and ISPs, which now account for more than half of bad bot traffic. Chang explained that this is unsurprising given the critical infrastructure telecom supports and the high volume of customer data flowing through these systems. Key takeaways from the report include: 51% of all internet traffic is now automated. 37% of global traffic comes from bad bots — a 7-point rise in one year. 40% increase in account takeover (ATO) attacks, often using stolen or brute-forced credentials. Telecom ranks as the second-most targeted vertical, just behind financial services. 55% of all telecom traffic is now made up of bad bots. Chang emphasized that these bots are increasingly using AI to evade detection, shifting IP addresses, mimicking human behavior, and attacking not just websites but APIs — which lack visual interfaces and are harder to monitor. 10 Recommendations to Reduce Risk To help organizations defend against this growing threat, Thales provides a set of 10 actionable recommendations, ranging from understanding your attack surface and deploying bot management tools, to tightening MFA usage and adopting a multi-layered defense strategy. Chang also offered a strategic reminder: don't play all your cards at once — adversaries are evolving just as quickly, and a staggered, adaptive defense is critical.

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes' YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Bret Tollgaard: Bret, welcome back to the program. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. Allen Hall: A lot has happened at Sunrez and you guys are the magic UV cure resin systems that everybody is using at the moment, but there's a bunch of new products that are coming out that I think a lot of operators and ISPs need to be aware of. One of 'em. Is a fill of material that looks great when you're trying to fix the leading edges, which are just mangled from all the dirt and debris and rain. It's not something you can just kind of smooth over very easily. And a lot of times operators spend a bunch of times sanding, grinding, trying to get it where they can apply some sort of liquidy coating to it, and it never really looks great and it's not really smooth. Bret Tollgaard: Sunrez has fixed that. We sure have. We've got a lot of customer feedback about some of the things that they'd like us to expand our UV cure portfolio on, and one of the big ones was leading edge protection. There's been a ton of different solutions and stuff used over the years. Some with success, some. Slightly less mild [00:01:00] success. Uh, and so we thought it was an opportunity kind of right for the picking. And so, uh, the chemist spent a reasonable amount of time trying to develop a highly filled, uh, UV curable resin system that will live up to all the abrasion, whether it's rain, uh, you know, particulates in the air, et cetera. And so we've undergone some really reasonable rain erosion testing thus far, and it's shown to be a pretty good result. And so it's been a slightly soft rollout as we really kind of finalize the formula in the system. But we really do think it's a product that the, uh, customers are gonna love, whether it's a pre impregnated, uh, fiberglass version, or potentially a, a putty version as well. Joel Saxum: I mean, the LEP market is, you're always hearing about new LEP, right? There's this LEP test, there's a whole conference devoted to leading edge erosion that. The DTU puts on, but it's because it's such a prevalent issue, right? Like. Alan and I in the field looking at reviewing blade damages for lightning and things. But we see all, all kinds of leading edge erosion. That is, it's crazy how annuity these turbines, some of these turbines are a [00:02:00] year, two, three years old, they're still in warranty and the leading edges look like they've been hit with a sandblaster. It's crazy. So the fact that you guys are working on something and what we really like, of course, about the UV cured products is that you get up there, you put it on, boom, you hit it with the uv. You come off the tower, you turn it back on. 'cause a lot of operators, and this is, this is where sun really shines. A lot of operators are always talking about downtime. Downtime. When we talk about installing strike tape, how long do I need to leave the turbine off before? Well, we've working on some solutions. We don't have to, uh, but. It's a, it's a very common thing and I really, what I really enjoy about what you said was customer feedback. So that means that you guys are in the market, you're trusted in the market, and people feel, feel good enough to come back to you and say, Hey, what about this? What about this? What about that? Bret Tollgaard: Yeah.

At the ITA Showcase, I sat down with Bob Young of FIFO Networks to discuss an emerging challenge for utilities and telecom carriers: meeting new federal cybersecurity requirements for broadband grants. As a cybersecurity consultant for public utilities, Bob is helping organizations navigate these evolving regulations—ensuring they secure funding while protecting critical infrastructure. Why Cybersecurity is Now a Requirement for Federal Grants Until recently, federal broadband grants did not require cybersecurity compliance. The Rural Broadband Initiatives focused on expanding fiber networks in underserved areas without specific security mandates. However, new regulations now tie funding eligibility to cybersecurity readiness. "The cybersecurity requirements seem scary at first," Young explained. "But the reality is, they've provided a well-laid-out process with clear goals. It can be done without adding much expense at all." What Grant Applicants Need to Know To qualify for funding, applicants must complete: A Cybersecurity Assessment – Identifies security risks and vulnerabilities A Cybersecurity Plan – Details how the organization will mitigate those risks These documents must be submitted with grant applications, ensuring recipients not only build broadband infrastructure but also protect it. The Standards Behind These Requirements The government's Cybersecurity Playbook draws from two key frameworks: NIST Cybersecurity Framework – Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology CISA Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPGs) – Created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency These frameworks provide a roadmap for securing telecom and utility networks—critical as broadband infrastructure becomes part of national security. How FIFO Networks Helps Utilities Stay Secure FIFO Networks works with public utilities and telecom carriers to implement these security measures. Whether a company needs full-service consulting or just an extra set of eyes to support an internal CISO or IT director, Young ensures organizations comply with federal requirements while keeping costs manageable. Beyond Compliance: Reducing Cyber Risk Beyond meeting grant requirements, Young challenges conventional wisdom on cybersecurity, urging companies to rethink centralization and internet reliance. "Once you connect your data to the internet, you create a global attack surface," he explained. "If you connect two data centers with a dedicated private circuit instead, it costs more—but it's infinitely more secure."

By Doug Green, Publisher, Technology Reseller News PORTLAND, OR — At this year's ITA Showcase, I sat down with Daniel Holbrook of the Oregon Broadband Office, an organization working to expand high-speed internet access across the state's diverse geography. With Oregon's unique mix of dense urban centers, remote rural communities, and challenging terrain, broadband connectivity remains a critical economic and social priority. A Mission to Connect Every Oregonian The Oregon Broadband Office, part of Business Oregon, is dedicated to securing and distributing funding—whether through state or federal grants—to help bring reliable broadband to every county in the state. "There are three counties in Oregon larger than nine U.S. states, each with fewer than 10,000 people,” Holbrook noted. “That speaks to the remoteness and scale of the challenge we face.” The challenge isn't just one of infrastructure; it's economic as well. While Oregon has invested heavily in technology and innovation, much of that progress has been concentrated in population centers. The state is now working to extend that growth into rural areas by funding broadband expansion, digital equity programs, and technical assistance. The Role of ITA Showcase At ITA Showcase 2025, Holbrook and his team are engaging with internet service providers (ISPs), MSPs, and technology partners to explore how they can collaborate. "We're here to connect with the industry, share opportunities, and ensure that broadband expansion aligns with what the market needs," he explained. The Oregon Broadband Office offers funding programs for: Broadband deployment grants for infrastructure projects. Technical assistance and planning support. Digital equity initiatives focused on access, education, and adoption. Why This Matters for Businesses For organizations operating in Oregon—whether through remote sites, retail locations, warehouses, or service contracts—broadband access can be a make-or-break factor in scaling operations. Holbrook encourages businesses to explore how state funding can support expansion efforts, network upgrades, and connectivity solutions. Learn More To explore grant opportunities or learn more about Oregon's broadband initiatives, visit broadband.oregon.gov. As connectivity continues to shape the future of economic development, the work of the Oregon Broadband Office remains critical—ensuring that no community is left behind in the digital age.  

Big changes in Washington have created big changes in the regulatory environment for ICT services—which may impact the ICT products and services that enterprise customers buy to run their businesses and, importantly, how much they must pay for them.  What are the impacts of big, proposed tariffs on the costs of ICT?  What's going to happen to USF and how much will enterprise customers have to pay for it?  And, did enterprise customers get regulatory protection from net neutrality rules or did the ISPs effectively quash their implementation? In this 11-minute episode of Staying Connected, Andrew Brown of LB3 joins Tony Mangino to discuss headline regulatory issues in 2025 and the potential effect of new tariffs on enterprise ICT services.

Allen Hall: To start off the week, Joel and I have just completed a couple of days that. ACP OMS in Nashville, Tennessee. And if you don't know where Nashville is in the center ish of the country, more towards the eastern part than the western part. It's the same state where it Davey Crockett came from Daniel Boone. Am I right about that, Joel? Sergeant York, Andrew Jackson. Yeah. This is some old names. Yeah, it's right next to, actually next to North Carolina. So we're like I don't know, an hour's drive from North Carolina with the area that got hit with hurricane a couple of months ago. We're not very far from it. But Nashville, the event was pretty well populated. I was trying to relate it to the OM and S event that happened in San Diego a year ago. It felt like it was a little bit smaller of an event, Joel, and maybe the attendance was a little bit lower. Joel Saxum: Yeah, the interesting, we were at the Gaylord Opryland Convention Center. It's absolutely massive. I learned today that it's the largest like resort convention center without a casino in the entire world. Like it felt like he walked like a mile through the inside of the thing to get to it. Like the conference center. What I think the issue there was, or what it felt like, is it didn't feel like it was as well attended as it was last year. A lot of ISPs, so a lot of blade repair companies, a lot of service companies, all floating around, not as many operators, but my thought is we're used to having this thing in San Diego. It was 40 degrees and raining today. And in San Diego every year it's like 75, 80 degrees. Beautiful. Everything is fantastic. People bring their families and stuff like that. So you hear a lot of people, oh yeah, I can't grab dinner tonight. I got, my, my wife and kids we're gonna go do this. When you're in the San Diego event here, not so much. 'cause it's, there's live music that's great that but it, you're also 20 minutes from downtown. It is a little bit of a different feel. But yeah the show floor. Of course, Allen and you and I took a couple laps around it and Claire, our producer as well. We took a couple laps around to see what was there. A lot of the same players that we're used to seeing a lot of the same companies. Nothing super new that stuck out. Nothing groundbreaking, however. A couple cool things, right? We sat down, I think we rec, we recorded a bunch of great material with some of our podcast friends and people new to the podcast at the thing. You'll hear those in the coming weeks, of course. But we did get to look at the Earth next platform from Earth Wind. That was really cool. Also the Gulf Wind Technology team was there and they were show showcasing their up tower root bushing repair. That was really cool. Other than that, ah, c nnc onsite, right? The ability to do precision machining up tower, which is really neat.

Get ready to supercharge your home tech game! In this episode, I dive headfirst into the world of WiFi optimization, making sure you're not paying for a Ferrari while stuck with a tricycle. I'm dishing out my top tips for 2025 on how to ensure your internet service provider is delivering the goods—because who wants to be stuck buffering during the big game? We'll also explore the coolest new smart home products hitting the market, making your life easier and your home smarter than ever. So, whether you're a tech newbie or a seasoned pro, stick around as we navigate the wild world of home connectivity and automation together!The quest for the perfect Wi-Fi can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack, especially when you've got the whole family streaming, gaming, and, let's be honest, probably binge-watching another season of that show you promised you'd stop after one episode. This episode dives deep into the tech tips for 2025 and sheds light on how to make sure you're getting the internet speeds you're paying for. Eric G is your guide, and he's not holding back! Starting with some straightforward advice, he suggests checking your internet speed using a reliable speed test. Spoiler alert: if your ISP is rounding down, you might be paying for gigabit service but only getting a fraction of that. From there, we slide into the importance of your router's placement—because, believe it or not, the location can either make or break your connection. Forget about cramming it in that dusty corner by the front door; think strategically! Eric lays out the benefits of a mesh Wi-Fi system, which is basically like sprinkling mini routers around your home like fairy dust to ensure that glorious signal reaches every nook and cranny. But wait, there's more! As we cruise through the episode, Eric introduces us to some of the coolest tech products hitting the market in 2025 that promise to revolutionize our smart homes. Think: AI-driven appliances and gadgets that not only keep your home running smoothly but also make you feel like a tech wizard! He discusses the new Akora 4-megapixel camera, which boasts features like true color night vision and the ability to recognize faces and detect unusual sounds. This isn't just a camera; it's like having a personal security guard who can also make your morning coffee, well, if it could only brew too. The episode wraps up with a reminder of how critical it is to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to tech upgrades in your home, because the only thing worse than buffering during your favorite show is realizing you've been using outdated equipment for years. So, grab your popcorn and tune in; your Wi-Fi woes might just find their happy ending!Takeaways: To maximize your home WiFi, ensure you get the speeds you're paying for, as many ISPs can be a little sneaky with their numbers. Consider upgrading to a mesh WiFi system if you want full signal strength in every nook and cranny of your home, especially for streaming. If you have older devices, check their capabilities because you might be buying more internet speed than they can handle, which is a bummer. Wired connections are generally more reliable than WiFi, so whenever possible, run an ethernet cable for better performance. Keep your modem and router updated; a monthly reset can help maintain optimal performance and connectivity. Smart home devices are getting smarter every year, so keep an eye out for the latest products that can enhance your home experience in 2025.

Today, I'm talking with Gary Smith, CEO of the networking company Ciena. You probably aren't familiar with Ciena — the company isn't really a household name. But every internet user has relied on the company's products; Ciena makes the hardware and software that makes the fiber optic cables connecting the world light up with data.  That's everything from local fiber networks for broadband ISPs to the massive undersea cables that connect continents. There's a high probability that this very podcast came to you over a Ciena network, in fact — the company is everywhere. That means almost every single Decoder idea is right here, sitting on the backbone of the internet.
