Cybersecurity Issues related to Critical Infrastructure

Abstract:

Cybersecurity issues related to critical infrastructure represent a significant threat to national security, economic stability, and public safety. Critical infrastructure includes essential sectors such as energy, water, transportation, healthcare, and finance. Cyber attacks on these sectors can disrupt services, cause physical damage, and lead to significant economic losses. The increasing interconnectivity and digitalization of critical infrastructure have amplified vulnerabilities, making cybersecurity a top priority for governments and private sectors worldwide. Key challenges include protecting against sophisticated cyber threats, ensuring robust incident response mechanisms, and fostering international cooperation to address cross-border cyber threats. The evolving landscape of cyber threats necessitates continuous innovation and investment in cybersecurity measures.
