With digitalization strategies moving at a feverish pace and the cybersecurity threat landscape rapidly shifting its attack focus, critical national infrastructure (CNI) organizations are finding themselves at a crossroads. After so many years of working on internal, closed-loop systems, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, Big Data analysis, and automation trends are making their way into more ruggedized, typically isolated industries that may have never had to consider an enterprise-level information technology (IT) or cybersecurity strategy before. Despite the significant benefits available to CNI entities who do move towards a more digitized, connected strategy—including increased operational efficacy and more robust operational controls and management capabilities—many are also finding that their once-isolated operational systems are now exposed to a litany of digital threats and attack types that operators never before concerned themselves with. Additionally, the persistent threat of hackers infiltrating either operational systems or traditional IT systems, CNI entities are also having to find a way to make cybersecurity solutions—many of which are typically geared to only IT-based cyber threats—work for both their IT and operational systems, a challenge that has only led to additional market fragmentation and exasperation, as many operators find themselves struggling with where to even begin the creation of a cybersecurity strategy.
Key Issues Addressed
- What are some of the key pain points that CNI customers feel today regarding their cybersecurity protection?
- Who are the main perpetrators of cyber attacks on critical national infrastructure organizations and what tactics are they using?
- What is the current mix of cybersecurity capabilities necessary to protect critical national infrastructure systems?
- How will more advanced capabilities and industry Mega Trends affect future technology mix and procurement strategies?
- How do compliance regulations, both current and potential new requirements, influence investment decisions for critical national infrastructure cybersecurity?
- What are some key regional use-cases that can be viewed as best practices for critical national infrastructure organizations?
