We are delighted to announce our next event – “Protection of country critical infrastructures” – where Uwe Kissmann, Managing Director Cyber Security at Accenture EMEA will walk you through live experiences and thoughts around this important topic. We are living in a world where cyber threats are becoming more diffuse, so make sure to join our exclusive event to learn about the good practices and guidelines to achieve strong critical infrastructure security.

Critical infrastructures are usually defined as physical facilities and information technologies and communication (ICT) networks whose degradation and disruption would tremendously undermine public safety, the fulfillment of major government responsibilities and even impact the country’s ability to conduct national defence. Critical infrastructure sectors include transportation systems, energy, emergency services, healthcare and public health, nuclear reactors, government facilities, and etc. In fact, these physical infrastructures became more contingent on complex cyber systems, therefore they also became more vulnerable to cyber threats.

Given the situation, discerning and understanding dependencies between the abovementioned sectors are critical for assessing the potential risks and for determining what steps can or should be taken to solidify the resilience and security architecture of the country.
