Book Recommendation: Countdown to Zero Day

When most people hear the phrase “cyber attack,” they think of downed computer systems – not a virus designed to physically destroy millions of dollars of uranium refinement centrifuges.

Stuxnet was the first known malware designed to target industrial control systems. It did so by causing centrifuges to spin out of control, all while reporting back to the control room that equipment was operating as expected.

This book details the story behind Stuxnet, the “world’s first digital weapon.” It’s available in softcover, hardcover, audiobook, and Kindle.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a cyberattack managed to take down the power grid?

According to best selling author Ted Koppel, it’s not only possible, but probable.

According to the NSA (National Security Agency), China and Russia have already penetrated our grid.

What happens when they decide to pull the trigger?

Join Ted as he explores the vulnerabilities of the US power grid, the ramifications of a major cyberattack, and what could be done to prevent it.
