“Over the last decade, we have witnessed a growing dependency on information technology in all sectors of life, and especially in the area of critical infrastructures. The increasing complexity of networks, cyber-physical systems and the emerging Internet of Things raise a strong need for cybersecurity and information security. Expert knowledge as well as security awareness with all stakeholders will be essential to cope with the upcoming challenges and risks. The dialogue initiative of the Energypact Foundation is an important step to foster risk informed leadership for the critical energy infrastructure.”
