## Resource

Welcome back to To the Point Cybersecurity Podcast, where hosts Rachel Lyon and Jonathan Knepher dive into the critical state of our nation's infrastructure with Jake Braun. In this episode, Jake Braun details the vulnerabilities facing America's water systems and explains the mission behind the Franklin Project, an initiative connecting hackers and cybersecurity professionals with small, often-overlooked utilities to bolster their defenses. From stories of hackers working covertly with election officials to the growing threats posed by foreign adversaries, this conversation unpacks the urgency of securing essential services and explores how communities—and individuals—can get involved in the fight to protect our most vital resources. Stay tuned as we discuss how the lines between the hacker, government, and critical infrastructure worlds are being blurred for the greater good.
