A compromised airport system can ground operations. A breach of industrial networks can damage equipment. Remote access to critical infrastructure can give attackers control over physical processes.
These aren’t hypothetical scenarios. The Collins Aerospace, Electrum, and Norwegian Dam attacks demonstrate how cyber threats can move beyond digital systems to disrupt the physical infrastructure people and businesses depend on.
This video breaks down three real-world incidents, showing how attackers compromised operational systems, disrupted critical operations, and turned network access into tangible consequences.
For security teams, the bigger question is what happened before the damage became visible. Which systems were accessed? How did attackers move through the network? What communications enabled the attack?
NetWitness Full Packet Capture helps security teams preserve network evidence, investigate suspicious traffic, trace attacker activity, and reconstruct incidents across IT and OT environments.
Because detecting the damage is only part of the investigation. Understanding how it happened is what matters.
