Risk Mitigation and Management
Proactive threat preparation significantly reduces disruptions to infrastructure and the broader community, bolstering resilience, safety and security. How can we effectively address these evolving physical and cyber threats to minimize outages and financial losses?

Emerging Threats against CI
The threats to critical infrastructure are like a chameleon. Cyberattacks evolve, threat of terrorism activities are on the increase, natural disasters worsen due to climate change, and new threats like drone attacks and AI manipulation emerge. This constant shift demands continuous updates to security measures. How can we identify, monitor and manage their levels of potential damage?

Workshop – What If: Exploring Critical Infrastructure Cascading Effects
Moderated by Alessandro Lazari
Join us for an engaging and interactive session on the final day of CIPRE. Titled “What If,” this session is designed to foster deep involvement from participants through dynamic, interactive tabletop exercises and thought-provoking scenarios.
Participants will dive into a series of hypothetical “what if” situations that challenge our preparedness and response strategies. A developing scenario that will encompass a wide range of threats including cyber and physical events, disruptions in the supply chain, hybrid threats, economic warfare, and the pressing need for climate change adaptation.
By exploring these multifaceted and interconnected threats, attendees will gain valuable insights into the complexities of protecting critical infrastructure. This session aims to enhance collaborative problem-solving skills, encourage innovative thinking, co-operation and prepare participants to better anticipate and mitigate future challenges.
Be prepared to think on your feet, work closely with fellow experts, and leave with a deeper understanding of the vulnerabilities and resilience strategies essential for safeguarding our critical infrastructure in an increasingly volatile world.
