Understanding attacker psychology and system environments in critical infrastructure helps organisations cut compromise risk when essential services are hit.

Session Details

Cyberattacks have rapidly become one of the most significant threats to modern Governments, Critical Infrastructure and Businesses.

Cyberattacks have severe consequences. When Critical Infrastructure delivering life-sustaining services (e.g. Water, Electricity, and Healthcare) are impacted, the lives of our citizens are at increased risks.

This presentation explores:

  • The respective system environments in a Critical Infrastructure organisation (including SCADA);
  • The Psychological profiles of the respective types of Cyber Attackers targeting our organisations;
  • The reasons why Critical Infrastructure organisations are high valued targets, and reasons why attacks are becoming more common;
  • Approaches to reduce the risk of compromise to Critical Infrastructure;
  • Strategies required to effectively respond to and recover from these malicious attacks; and
  • Maintaining an effective, fit-for-purpose Cyber Incident Response Program for Critical Infrastructure organisations.
