9:00am-10:30am – Session 2: Emerging Threats on CI
The ever changing nature of threats, whether natural, through climate change, or man-made through terrorism activities, cyber attackss and insider threats, means the need to continually review and update policies, practices and technologies to meet these growing demands. But what are those emerging threats on our CI, from physical and cyber perspectives, and how can we identify, monitor and manage their levels of potential damage?
