Surrey Cyber Security Cluster – “Future of Cyber Series – Securing Critical National Infrastructure”

The Future of Cyber seminar series continues with a timely discussion on the security and resilience of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). From nuclear power and water supply to telecommunications, transport, energy, and beyond, CNI underpins national security, economic stability, and public safety. As these vital systems become ever more interconnected and digitally dependent, protecting them against evolving cyber threats and making them resilient in the face of all adversity has never been more urgent.

This session brings together perspectives from academia, industry, and the wider cyber security community to examine the challenges, innovations, and strategies shaping the future of CNI protection. Topics will span emerging threats, resilience research and  planning, and the crucial role of cross-sector collaboration in safeguarding our most essential services.

Speakers:

• Awais Rashid: Professor of Cyber Security, University of Bristol

• Steve Buckley: Enterprise Security Consultant for CNI, BAE Systems

• Dimitrios Pezaros: Professor of Networks, Royal Academy Engineering Chair, University of Glasgow

Come along for engaging and insightful discussion, and take the opportunity to connect with researchers, business leaders, students, and members of the public who share an interest in shaping the future of cyber resilience.
