Critical Infrastructure
Mitigating Cyber Threats to Safeguard Essential Systems
As cyber-attacks continue to rise in frequency and sophistication, critical infrastructures such as energy, transportation, water supply, and communication sectors face significant challenges in safeguarding their operations and assets, particularly their Industrial Control Systems (ICS). These infrastructures are attractive targets for malicious actors seeking to disrupt essential services, compromise sensitive data, or undermine national security. The interconnectedness of critical infrastructure systems, reliance on legacy technologies, and the increasing adoption of IoT devices and cloud computing pose additional vulnerabilities. Protecting critical infrastructure requires addressing a multitude of challenges, including securing complex networks, managing supply chain risks, addressing insider threats, and ensuring compliance with industry-specific regulations and standards.
