Cyber Security 2010: Protecting Critical National Infrastructure From The Cyber Threat

"The next significant attack on the NATO alliance may well come down a fibre optic cable" (new Strategic Concept for NATO report)

This is a future most governments are ill prepared to face. With critical infrastructure now inextricably linked and networked, an attack through cyberspace on any of its constituent parts would have dramatic consequences on an individual, national and international level.

DefenceIQ’s Cyber Security 2010 will address the threat posed by Cyber attacks by providing a forum for all the relevant stakeholders involved in protecting a nation’s critical infrastructure to discuss best practise, lessons learned and future strategies
