Food, transport, financial services, energy, information systems, and healthcare are indispensable to everyday life. Cybercriminals are aware that critical infrastructure – physical, cyber, and human assets – underpin these socioeconomic functions. It could be a minor disruption, a long-standing conflict zone, or a mere rumor of something amiss in these critical services. But it can bring individuals, organizations, governments, and entire economies to their knees.
Energy companies, healthcare providers, government bodies, train systems, and ports in Europe have all come under cyberattack. These attacks underline the importance of safeguarding critical infrastructure while being resilient to continue operations with minimal discomfort.
