Navigating Cyber-Risks And New Defenses
DARKReading, Friday, March 28th, 2025
Digital transformation has revolutionized industries with critical infrastructure - but it has also introduced new vulnerabilities.
Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure are on the rise, driven by supply chain vulnerabilities, bad actors exploiting small and midsize businesses (SMBs) as entry points into larger organizations, and the rapid pace of digitalization.
Internet of Things (IoT) devices have connected industrial settings and physical environments to digital networks, enhancing monitoring and management. But this connectivity has also introduced new entry points for cyber threats. In 2025, the threat of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure most likely will remain significant. However, continued advancements and adoption of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and private networks can serve as powerful countermeasures.
