Securing critical infrastructure in a dynamically connected world
Download nowCritical infrastructure forms the backbone of modern society. This encompasses energy, water, transportation, and healthcare — systems that are becoming more interconnected and digitally enabled than ever before. However, the rise in cyber threats such as ransomware, advanced persistent threats (APTs), insider risks, and supply chain vulnerabilities pose challenges that can destabilize this structure.
This whitepaper explores the evolving threat landscape targeting critical infrastructure, drawing on real-world case studies such as the Colonial Pipeline attack, Stuxnet, and Ukraine’s power grid breach. It examines the unique security challenges faced by operators, including legacy systems, targeted attacks, and complex supply chain dependencies.
The paper also highlights how emerging technologies such as AI-driven threat detection and post-quantum cryptography, alongside evolving regulatory frameworks are shaping the future of critical infrastructure security.
