  • How did the PCAST report come to be?  Can you share the backstory and how it was created?
  • The PCAST report emphasizes the importance of leading indicators for security and resilience. How can organizations effectively shift their focus from lagging indicators to these leading indicators?
  • The report also emphasizes the importance of "Cyber-Physical Modularity" - this sounds mysterious to us, and probably our listeners! What is it and how does this concept contribute to enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure?

  • In your opinion, what are the most critical takeaways from our PCAST-related paper for organizations looking to improve their security and resilience posture today?
  • What are some of the challenges organizations might face when implementing the PCAST recommendations, and how can they overcome these challenges?
