Critical Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Challenges

Welcome to the September issue of The Cyber Express, where we dive into the pressing issue of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure. This month, we explore the escalating threats that could potentially disrupt the foundations of our societies. As cyber incidents targeting infrastructure have doubled from 2020 to 2022, it’s evident that current cybersecurity measures and regulations are insufficient to combat the growing complexity of these threats. In response, this issue advocates for a unified global cyber treaty to establish universal standards and foster international cooperation.

Inside, you’ll find insights from leading experts like Cathy Pedrayes, who provides practical cybersecurity tips for all digital users, and Dr. Sheeba Armoogum, who discusses the intersection of cybersecurity and human behavior. Matthew Rosenquist offers strategic advice on protecting critical infrastructure, while industry leaders like Dhiraj Ranka, Dr. Mohammad Khaled, and Jane Teh address the complexities of today’s cybersecurity landscape, the protection of AI systems, and the role of artificial intelligence in data protection.

We also feature perspectives on protecting intellectual property in the pharmaceutical sector, evolving cybersecurity strategies and regulations, the implications of recent high-profile cyber incidents, and the importance of AI governance. This issue serves as both a source of valuable insights and a call to action for stronger, more cohesive cybersecurity strategies to safeguard the infrastructure vital to our daily lives.
We hope you find this issue insightful and essential.

Stay informed, stay secure.
