EEMUA Cyber Security Seminar – Interconnected industry, interconnected risk

Vulnerabilities in the supply chain, the increase in scope of the definition of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and the practical application of the Cyber Security Act/Regulation as it affects industrial systems all add emphasis to the need for assessment and management of risk - at least for those businesses which don't have a death wish.  But none of these things are rarely either simple or quick and easy and approaches must vary to suit the circumstances.  How raising the bar can be done in practice is the theme for this seminar.

It is almost a given that you can never do enough with cyber security – defences can never be secure against all threats (but don’t give up on it!). Our adversaries are now so highly motivated by money and a number of easy successes that there is a very high risk of being a victim in some way. Businesses therefore need to look to the management strategies that will enable them to stay in business – you could call it breach lifecycle management. Minimize the damage! What might your part be in that?
