Critical Infrastructure Security
Protecting essential systems like power grids and water supply from cyber threats.
Understanding Critical Infrastructure Security
Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure can cause nationwide disruptions. Key risks include:
Ransomware Attacks – Targets utilities and government services.
Nation-State Cyberattacks – Used for espionage and sabotage.
Supply Chain Vulnerabilities – Attackers exploit third-party vendors.
Best Practices for Protection
Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) – Requires continuous verification.
Network Segmentation – Limits attacker movement in critical networks.
Future of Critical Infrastructure Security
Quantum-Secure Encryption – Post-quantum cryptography will become essential.
AI for Threat Detection – AI-driven SOC operations will detect cyber threats in real time.
Cyber-Physical Security Integration – Merging IT security with operational security.
