With the recent cyber attack on a Florida water treatment plant, the conversation about critical infrastructure resilience heated up. Sara Freeman, an expert in these topics just released a book that helps organizations be better prepared to defend and react, and has been in the speaking circuit of many events, including RSA ’21.

Sarah works at a pioneer in critical infrastructure and nuclear energy, the Idaho National Laboratory.
