26th of November: “Future of Cyber” event on “Securing Critical National Infrastructure”
The Future of Cyber seminar series continues with a timely discussion on the security and resilience of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). From nuclear power and water supply to telecommunications, transport, energy, and beyond, CNI underpins national security, economic stability, and public safety. As these vital systems become ever more interconnected and digitally dependent, protecting them against evolving cyber threats and making them resilient in the face of all adversity has never been more urgent.
This session brings together perspectives from academia, industry, and the wider cyber security community to examine the challenges, innovations, and strategies shaping the future of CNI protection. Topics will span emerging threats, resilience research and planning, and the crucial role of cross-sector collaboration in safeguarding our most essential services.
