Webinar: Defending Critical National Infrastructure

With cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated, sectors like healthcare, energy, defence, and transportation face rising threats, from data theft to disruptions that can impact public safety. In Adarma’s October threat briefing, our Threat Intelligence Team provided an in-depth look into the specific challenges critical national infrastructure (CNI) sectors face, offering insights on both emerging threats and defensive strategies using real-world examples.

Key Highlights Include:

• Hacktivism on the Rise: Hacktivists are increasingly targeting CNI sectors, often disrupting transport networks and public services. The briefing explores how these attacks, though ideologically motivated, are evolving to include ransomware and data theft.
• Sector-Specific Risks:
  • Healthcare: Ransomware is a persistent threat, with recent incidents delaying treatments and exposing sensitive patient information.
  • Energy & Utilities: Internet-connected operational technology (OT) systems are vulnerable, particularly smaller providers with limited defences.
  • Defence: The briefing details state-sponsored espionage threats, aimed at extracting sensitive data and intellectual property.
  • Transportation: Public transport and logistics networks have been targeted with DDoS attacks and data breaches, impacting everyday services and customer trust.
• Attacker Techniques and Trends: Real-world examples of tactics such as data staging, local data exfiltration, and masquerading that attackers use to infiltrate these sectors and evade detection.

This briefing is essential for those seeking to understand the current cyber landscape and the risks to critical sectors. To learn more about these insights and gain actionable recommendations, watch the full webinar for a comprehensive view on defending CNI against today’s cyber threats.
