Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity Summit

Critical infrastructure now operates at the intersection of IT and operational technology. As adversaries escalate attacks, outages threaten public safety, economic stability and stakeholder trust. Meanwihle, regulatory scrutiny is rising, making resilience both a board priority and an operational imperative.

Many organizations are struggling to “keep the lights on” while managing so much ICT change across complex, legacy-rich environments. This session examines the current level of threats to Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and the underlying impacts on society and the economy, exploring practical strategies for continuity of essential services during sophisticated cyber incidents.

Join Steve Yates, Chairman of the Resilience Association and Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists, to explore frontline practices in continuity for ICT and critical infrastructure operators.

Key Takeaways
- Map today’s CNI threat landscape and prioritize mission-critical services.
- Identify strategic security gaps across ICT/OT, third parties, and change management.
- Build incident management that links detection to tested recovery and communications.
- Implement safeguards: segmentation, least privilege, offline/immutable backups, and restoration drills.
- Establish metrics and exercises to evidence resilience and meet regulatory expectations
