Pedro Umbelino on Exploiting ATG Devices in Fuel Storage
Pedro Umbelino, Principal Research Scientist at Bitsight Technologies, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss his team's research into Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) systems and how they uncovered 11 vulnerabilities in ATGs manufactured by five different vendors. ATG systems are an industrial control system that monitors fuel levels inside storage tanks, including those at gasoline stations, military bases, hospitals, airports, and elsewhere. ATGs track fuel levels, and are meant to detect leaks, help with inventory management, and are key in regulatory compliance efforts.The vulnerabilities uncovered by Pedro and his team expose these systems to catastrophic risks, from environmental hazards to significant economic losses, including physical damage.Worse yet is that these systems are old and challenging to update.

Sarah Fluchs on the Cyber Resilience Act
Cybersecurity and technology expert Sarah Fluchs joins the 100th episode of the Nexus Podcast to discuss the EU's Cyber Resilience Act and what it means for manufacturers of "products with digital elements" as they aim toward a 2027 compliance deadline. Sarah provides her insight on the regulation's essential requirements, its focus on secure-by-design and overall cyber resilience of products, and the milestones manufacturers need to hit as their compliance efforts get under way. Sarah also discusses her thought leadership and work in bringing cybersecurity to engineers, asset operators, and other non-security teams. It's important, she says, to eliminate cybersecurity's innate complexity and bring these concepts to engineers and others on their terms.

Andrew Ohrt on Cyber-Informed Engineering
Andrew Ohrt, the resilience practice area lead at West Yost, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss cyber-informed engineering (CIE) and how it informs engineers and asset operators to understand their role in creating and maintaining a cyber resilient organization. According to Ohrt, CIE is one of the best examples of delivering cybersecurity concepts to non-security teams, speaking to them in their language, and avoiding the often-intimidating jargon that can dominate cybersecurity discussions.Listen to the Nexus Podcast on your favorite podcast platform.
