Agenda

This session looks at the latest and emerging threats, such as terrorism, insider threats, climate-related events, cyberattacks and emerging AI-enabled risks and how the threat environment is evolving, creating the conditions for a polycrisis: multiple concurrent or cascading crises whose combined impacts exceed those of individual events. Understanding such threats helps strengthen intelligence-led preparedness, resilience […]

Polycrisis: Maintaining Critical Infrastructure Resilience Against Simultaneous Threats

Chris Dietz Critical Infrastructure Analyst
Idaho National Laboratory

The evolving standards, frameworks and governance requirements shaping cyber security across critical infrastructures aim to deliver enhanced resilience to operations. The latest developments in cyber incident reporting, including CIRCIA and initiatives like Fortify are designed to strengthen organizational security and resilience. Learn how organizations can align governance, compliance and incident-response processes, navigate evolving regulatory requirements, […]

Secure by Design and Resilience by Design embed security, resilience and recoverability as fundamental requirements throughout the entire lifecycle of critical infrastructure through the three pillars: preparedness, adaptability, and recovery. Rather than adding protection after systems are developed, these principles integrate threat modelling, risk assessment, secure supply chains, operational resilience and recovery from the earliest […]

Building Fuel Resilience for an Island in the Desert

Josie Ross Emergency Management Officer
City of Henderson Department of Emergency Management

Maritime and subsea infrastructure is vital to global trade, energy security, communications and national resilience. Ports, shipping routes, undersea cables, pipelines and offshore energy assets face growing physical, cyber and geopolitical threats. Protecting these interconnected systems is essential to preventing economic disruption, environmental damage and interruptions to critical services, while ensuring the continued movement of […]

Networking Coffee Break in the Expo Hall, sponsored by Axis Communications

The transport (road, rail, air) and logistics sector is a cornerstone of critical infrastructure, enabling the movement of people, goods, and essential services. Increasing interconnectivity, digitalisation, and reliance on complex supply chains expose it to cyber, physical and hybrid threats. This session examines strategies to enhance resilience, protect key assets, and ensure continuity, focusing on […]

Maintaining situational awareness is critical to anticipating threats, making informed decisions and coordinating an effective emergency response when critical infrastructure is disrupted. This session will consider how to prepare organisations to develop effective intelligence gathering, information sharing, monitoring, incident preparedness and crisis coordination across complex and interconnected environments. How can operational response frameworks, exercises, communications, […]

Protecting Critical Emergency Coordination Centres against Advanced Cyber Threats: The GANNDALF Approach

Jose L. Diego Chief of Staff, Head of EU Projects Division
Valencia Police, Spain

Drones pose a growing threat to critical infrastructure due to their increasing accessibility, manoeuvrability, and payload capacity. They can be used for surveillance, delivering explosives, or causing disruptions. However, drones can also act as a facilitator to protect critical infrastructure. In this session we look into the threat, counter measures and impact drones can induce […]

The latest technologies for detecting and predicting threats to critical national infrastructure span ground, land, underwater, space-based, and cyber domains, supported by advanced sensors and access control systems. Artificial intelligence increasingly enhances these capabilities by improving speed, accuracy, and cross-domain analysis of threat signals. New, developing systems and solutions enable earlier detection, better prediction, and […]

Modelling, simulation and digital twins are increasingly important tools for strengthening critical infrastructure resilience. They enable organisations to understand complex interdependencies, test disruption scenarios and identify vulnerabilities without the cost or consequences of real-world failures. By simulating cascading impacts, recovery strategies and resource constraints, decision-makers can evaluate options, validate resilience plans, prioritise investment and improve […]

Decomposition for Energy Assurance and Electrical Power Resilience (DEEPR) Process for Measuring and Improving Mission Resilience

Michael Darby Mission Assurance Lead
Idaho National Laboratory

AI is transforming both critical infrastructure protection and the threats facing it. This session will consider how AI can enhance threat detection, predictive maintenance, situational awareness, incident response and resilience planning, alongside emerging risks such as AI-enabled cyberattacks, automated exploitation, deepfakes and misinformation. Learn how organisations can assess and manage these opportunities and threats, establish […]

Delegate Lunch in the Expo Hall Delegate Restaurant

As geopolitical, cyber and physical threats grow, critical infrastructure interdependencies can turn individual disruptions into cascading impacts across sectors. This panel examines how energy, communications, IT and chemical sectors can strengthen resilience through trusted relationships, information sharing and public-private partnerships. Drawing on real-world experience, it will explore improving situational awareness, identifying systemic vulnerabilities, coordinating responses, […]
