INTERNATIONAL Conference RESILIENCE OF CRITICAL infrastructure
International conference resilience of critical infrastructure
Our colleague Marko Šukilović CPP, Director of Business Development G4S Serbia, participated in an international conference at the beginning of December 2022 "Resilience of critical infrastructure" in Zagreb where, together with experts in the field of physical and information security, he spoke about the role of security based on IoT (Internet-of-Things) solutions in the protection of critical infrastructure.
The topics covered by the conference, among others, were: war conflicts, hybrid threats and critical infrastructure protection: Opportunities, obstacles and open issues, the cyber dimension of critical infrastructure protection, public-private partnership as a basis for strengthening resilience and critical infrastructure protection, strategic and normative approaches to strengthening resilience and protection of critical infrastructure and a comprehensive approach of the entire society in the protection of critical infrastructure.
Marko showed the participants a pragmatic approach to securing critical infrastructure using the G4S Security Risk Management model, which includes the identification of protected values (prioritization of property values); risk identification (ranking of threats and classification of perpetrators; their potential impact and possible consequences); then the correct definition of security measures and solutions for mitigating/removing risks by applying integrated solutions based on an adequate combination of people, technique and technology - and on real examples of protection of telecommunications infrastructure and wind farms.
The essence is to change the traditional "guards & guns & gates" access - we are witnessing how threats evolve to find holes in the security concept.
Marko says:
The essence is to change the traditional "guards & guns & gates" access - we are witnessing how threats evolve to find holes in the security concept. When faced with a classic "break and steal" problem with perpetrators who know the workings of non-integrated, traditional security methods (like physical security) and their weaknesses, why would you pick a battle you can't win? "Traditional" perpetrators are unable to understand and counter advanced solutions that combine people and technology - especially when the technology comes from the IoT world. That's why we believe that our Security-of-Things will make a difference and lead to a change in approach to security.
