Phil Boas: Why The Colonial Pipeline Cyberatttack Won't Wake Up The U.S.

The Show regularly checks in with the Editorial Board of the Arizona Republic to talk about current issues facing the state and the region — featured in columns on the newspaper’s op-ed pages.

The recent cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline resulted in long lines at gas stations in the eastern U.S. and even worries that a true shortage and much higher prices were inevitable.

The pipeline  reopened last week, and most people simply went back to their regular schedules and routines. But should all of us — especially policymakers — see this as a call to action?

The Show spoke with Phil Boas of the Republic, who  interviewed a corporate cybersecurity expert about what the nation’s focus should be.
