The evolution of cybersecurity and emerging technologies impacts the critical infrastructure industry. New technologies such as AI capabilities, as well as machine learning and quantum computing, are already used by states and crime organizations to look for vulnerabilities as well as the introduction of algorithms which were not planned to be secured i.e. open source algorithms and others. The panel will focus on emerging threats, solutions and the processes that governments and the private sector should apply to ensure that identified critical infrastructure is well protected and prepared for the new threats.
The panel, titled "Protecting National Critical Infrastructure while New Threats and Technologies Emerge," is set to be a cornerstone of the side event "Emerging Threats to Critical Infrastructure" during Cyber Week in Tel Aviv, Israel on June 28, 2023. This distinguished panel will assemble influential figures including representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy, Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, ST Engineering, Cyprus National Regulatory Authority, and Cylus. Together, they will delve into the pressing challenges of safeguarding critical infrastructure amidst the constantly evolving landscape of emerging threats and technologies, addressing the urgent need for proactive measures and collaborative strategies to ensure the resilience and security of our national assets.
