McKinsey Global Infrastructure Initiative Summit

Tokyo, Japan

Thursday, October 20th, 2022

10:35–11:10

BUILDING CYBER RESILIENCE

Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, such as the Colonial Pipeline, are increasing in frequency and size. Concurrently, infrastructure operators are implementing new technologies that increase efficiencies, but these could also make their assets more vulnerable to cyberattacks. How can the industry embrace digital adoption while managing cyberthreats? What can be done about zero-day exploits—that is, cyberattacks that occur the same day a vulnerability is discovered by a hacker? What preventive strategies might reduce downtime?

Panelists:

Mark Fialkowski, President Mobility Solutions, Parsons

Marc Ganzi, Chief Executive Officer, Digital Bridge

Shinichi Yokohama, Chief Information Security Officer, EVP Security and Trust, NTT Group

Moderator: Swarna Ramanathan, Partner, McKinsey & Company
