Cross-sector collaboration
Different sectors of CI (such as energy, telecommunications, and transportation) will increasingly need to collaborate to address shared risks and vulnerabilities.
In the intricate web of modern CI, the lines between sectors are becoming ever more blurred. The energy sector relies on telecommunications for smart grid management, while transportation systems are interwoven with both to ensure smooth and efficient operations. In this interconnected environment, a vulnerability in one sector can quickly become a systemic threat, highlighting the imperative for cross-sector collaboration.
This collaboration is rooted in the understanding that risks and threats are not confined to single sectors. Cyber attackers often exploit the weakest link in a chain that spans multiple industries. For example, an attack on the healthcare sector could also expand and affect the pharmaceutical industry and health-tech vendors. A coordinated approach to security that leverages...
