CYBER-SECURITY IN THE NEW ERA OF INTEGRATED OPERATIONAL – INFORMATIONAL TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

Digital Revolution has forced previously isolated networks of critical infrastructures to become more digitally integrated. Recent cyber-attacks, including Stuxnet and Wiper, have exposed a new set cybersecurity vulnerabilities in this field. This environment like utilities or power plants paper offers view into the most efficient current defense solutions. It also glimpse need for further development protection mechanisms developed on emerging technologies. The risks posed by integration Information Technology solutions with Operational systems been key topic at latest World Economic Forum conference, where cyber-attacks were discussed context significant upcoming decade. findings are applicable other industries. aims highlight that initially understanding IT components taking right preventive measures, infrastructure can be protected against these kinds threats. research framework behind was directed towards analysing cyber associated convergence between infrastructure.
