The growing cyberthreat to critical national infrastructure

Abstract

There is no more attractive target for cyber attackers – especially those linked to nation states – than critical national infrastructure (CNI). Organisations working in sectors that comprise CNI are subject to attacks ranging from ransom attempts to cyber war. Governments are becoming increasingly nervous about these threats, but often left the industry itself to do something about them. So what are the threats, how are they evolving and what do we do about them?
