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?
