In this episode of Hack Dissection, Mike Lisi sits down with Wayne Koback from NRECA to talk about the cybersecurity challenges facing electric cooperatives and rural utilities across the country.
Wayne shares what makes the co-op utility space so unique, from massive organizations with nuclear assets to small-town teams where one person may be handling IT, utility operations, and town management all at once. Mike and Wayne dig into the realities of protecting critical infrastructure with limited resources, the importance of practical cyber goals, and why collaboration across co-ops matters when facing threats to the grid.
They also explore how data center growth is impacting rural utilities, why vendor security needs more accountability, and how SCADA knowledge can open doors for cybersecurity professionals in industries far beyond electric power.
For anyone interested in cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, rural utilities, or building a stable and meaningful career in tech, this episode offers a grounded look at where cyber work has real-world consequences.
