ood, Energy and Water (FEW) are linked inextricably and are important requirements for national security and economic development of nations. To make enough food for a growing world population, more water and energy are needed. Ensuring water is accessible and clean for human consumption demands energy and diverts water resources from agriculture. Additionally producing energy requires water. Energy production is further constrained by the need to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

In the age of increased cyber attacks and cyber threats, it is the priority of governments and operators to protect a region’s vital infrastructures such as agriculture, electricity, and transportation. This webinar will outline the importance of critical infrastructure protection, current approaches for protecting both critical infrastructure and critical data from cyber-attacks, and future direction in cyber threat intelligence.
