Critical Infrastructure Protection & Resilience Europe brings together leading stakeholders from industry, infrastructure operators, agencies and governments to collaborate on securing Europe’s infrastructure. The ever changing nature of threats, whether natural through climate change, or man-made through terrorism activities, either physical or cyber-attacks, means the need to continually review and update policies, practices and technologies to meet these demands. The conference will build on developing themes by deepening understanding of emerging threats and vulnerabilities, and by supporting the development and implementation of frameworks for risk-management, strategic planning and resilient operations. As an exhibitor you can meet leading decision makers from corporate and government establishments tasked with Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience.
