Play • 45 min

Welcome back to Cyber Humanity! We've got our shades on and we're ready for a busy summer of cyber.

And what better way to herald our return than with a news story that's been hitting every headline?

Tune in to discover what happens when IT meets OT – and what the DarkSide has to do with it.
