Oil & Gas Sector Symposium
The oil and gas sector faces significant threats and challenges from cyberattacks, physical sabotage, natural disasters, and geopolitical tensions, which pose a constant risk to the industry’s operations and supply chain. Aging infrastructure, lack of cybersecurity expertise, and regulatory complexities further exacerbate these challenges. Protecting CI in this sector requires a comprehensive approach that addresses […]
Food & Agriculture Sector Symposium
The Food & Agriculture Sector faces a myriad of threats and risks. Climate change, natural disasters, criminals, and geopolitical tensions can disrupt food production and distribution; having cascading effects on economies. Additionally, cyberattacks and supply chain vulnerabilities pose significant challenges to food and national security. To mitigate these risks, robust measures are essential, including: sustainable […]
IT OT Threats
IT-OT convergence in critical infrastructure has increased the risk of cyberattacks. Malicious actors can exploit vulnerabilities in IT systems to compromise operational technology (OT), leading to disruptions, damage, and even safety hazards. To mitigate these threats, organizations must implement robust cybersecurity measures, including network segmentation, access controls, and incident response plans. Fostering collaboration between IT […]
Strategic Resilience Planning & Risk Mitigation
Being prepared for the changing threat environment can benefit greatly in mitigating its impact on infrastructure and the broader community, ensuring resilience, safety and security. How to we develop and plan the best resilience strategies within our CI community?
