Why most security systems in America are still reactive

The hidden vulnerabilities in U.S. infrastructure and military bases

How AI is already reshaping national defense (and what’s coming next)

The real cost of prolonged wars—and the lack of clear strategy

Why entrepreneurship and innovation are now critical to national security

The uncomfortable truth about bureaucracy, decision-making, and enforcement

And maybe most importantly… What kind of future we’re actually building for the next generation. This isn’t fear-driven. It’s reality-driven. Because national security isn’t just about what happens overseas…

In this powerful conversation, Bennett Tanton sits down with Jenny Chan of the Pacific Atrocities Education Center to uncover the parts of WWII history most people were never taught. From Japanese war crimes and human experimentation to the long-term effects of generational trauma, this episode explores how history does not simply disappear when wars end. We dive into the forgotten suffering of civilians, prisoners of war, and even the soldiers who carried out horrific acts. Jenny explains how selective historical memory has distorted international relationships, fueled resentment, and quietly influenced modern geopolitics in Asia and beyond. This episode is not about blame.
It is about truth, memory, and why national security depends on understanding the full human cost of war. Topics include:

• Unit 731 and biological warfare
• Human experimentation during WWII
• Generational trauma and epigenetics
• The politics of historical memory
• How war crimes still shape Asia-Pacific relations
• Why erasing history creates future conflict Some stories are uncomfortable. But forgetting them is far more dangerous.

We have seen this tactic before. Russia pre-positioned inside Ukraine’s power grid years before the 2014 annexation of Crimea and long before the 2022 invasion. When they needed leverage, they didn’t have to build new cyber tools. They already had the access. They already understood the system. So when it came time to act, they shut off parts of Ukraine’s grid in the dead of winter. They weren’t experimenting. They were executing what had been prepared long in advance. Reference:

If the weakness is local, the counterweight must also be local. Here is what that looks like in practice for a small utility that wants to punch above its weight.
1.    
Tighten identity and access. Kill default passwords. Enforce unique accounts and role-based access. Remove vendor accounts that are not in active use. Turn on multifactor authentication for anything with a public IP. This sounds basic because it is. The EPA letter literally cites unchanged defaults as a root problem. https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-03/epa-apnsa-letter-to-governors_03182024.pdf EPA
2.    
Segment operational tech from business IT. If your billing workstation can talk directly to plant controls, you are one phishing email away from a very bad day. Even coarse network separation with strict allow lists is a leap forward for small teams. CISA’s “Cyber Risks and Resources for the Water Sector” provides starter guidance and a map to help choose controls that match staff capacity. https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/cyber-risks-and-resources-management-water-and-wastewater-systems-sector CISA
3.    
Know your assets. You cannot defend what you cannot see. Build and maintain a simple inventory of PLCs, HMIs, remote access appliances, and their firmware versions. The American Water Works Association keeps current guidance and assessment tools, including small systems resources. Use them. https://www.awwa.org/technical-reports/ and https://www.awwa.org/AWWA-Articles/is-your-utility-vulnerable-to-cyberattacks/ American Water Works Association+1
4.    
Practice manual failover. Aliquippa proved that people and clipboards still matter. Rehearse safe shutdown and manual operation of critical functions. That single habit converts a crisis into an inconvenience.
5.    
Set a baseline and monitor. Even a low-cost logging setup that tracks unusual remote connections and sudden config changes will catch a large percentage of amateur intrusions and shorten the dwell time of advanced ones. Partner with your state fusion center or ISAC to get free threat intel feeds.
6.    
Train the humans. Most cyber incidents begin with persuasion. Phishing, spoofed support calls, fake vendor emails. Short, recurring refreshers outperform once-a-year checklists. EPA and CISA both run free training targeted to water systems, including for very small utilities. https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-08/epa-guidance-on-improving-cybersecurity-at-drinking-water-and-wastewater-systems-1.pdf and https://www.cisa.gov/water AP’s 2024 coverage highlighted both the rising attack tempo and the growing resolve among utilities to get ahead of it. https://apnews.com/article/1435b3e6a569aa046e05c7947f0a0f3d If you want a place to start this week, open three links and schedule one task.
