Critical Infrastructure Faces Increasing Cyber Threats

Critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, water, and transportation face escalating cyber threats as nation-state actors routinely probe for weaknesses. Many industrial control systems still run on outdated technologies, making them susceptible to disruption. Governments are investing heavily in modernizing infrastructure and launching national initiatives focused on ICS defense. Specialized OT-focused intrusion detection systems are expanding, and effective public-private cooperation is becoming essential. Strengthening these core systems is now a global priority to reduce long-term cyber risks.
