    Ed Skoudis will analyze the shifting threat of attackers targeting industrial control systems and physical equipment rather than just computers and data. He will discuss actual attacks against critical infrastructure like power grids and transportation systems. Skoudis will also explore how the separation between computers and the physical world is disappearing as equipment is always online. Finally, he will look at how kinetic attacks are modeled in the CyberCity project to help train cyber warriors on the physical impacts of computer attacks.
