Beyond the Firewall: delivering water sector reform through AMP8

How can we enable secure and resilient asset management with the use of safe cyber physical infrastructure?

Join us for a full packed day exploring the data dilemma, balancing access and protection in a risk adverse sector. We will navigate our way through how to build resilience of assets whilst maintaining cybersecurity, identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to critical national infrastructure.

Understand how the newly formed regulator will assess water companies in meeting the cybersecurity challenges, hear some real-life examples of breaches of the firewall and the ambitions of the sector to achieve cyber physical infrastructure and semantic mapping.
