Critical infrastructure protection
It's never been more difficult — or important — to secure the global critical infrastructure. A greater reliance on technology and limited budgets, in addition to the rise in global uncertainty, require enterprises to protect critical infrastructure from IT risks. IT security organisations in the energy, transportation, financial services and government sectors provide (and rely on) critical infrastructure.
Business and technology objectives include:
- Understand industry-specific best practices for critical infrastructure protection
- Protect the enterprise with limited budgets
- Respond to industry-specific global regulations
- Use “air gaps” and security layers to protect physical systems, when appropriate
- Secure proprietary control and management systems without inherent security controls
- Balance the protection of infrastructure with increased demands to leverage Internet-based technologies
