2021 Czernin Security Forum | Critical Infrastructure and Changing Cyber Threats Panel


Dr. Andreas Kuehn, Senior Fellow at ORF America, was featured on a panel as part of the 2021 Czernin Security Forum. The digital transformation has brought changes faster and of a greater magnitude than ever before and many societies can find it difficult to adapt. In times of growing cyberthreats, CERTs/CSIRTs (Computer Emergency/Computer Security Incident Response Teams) have an important role in preventing cyber-attacks and in coordinating the technical response at national level. They may help in monitoring and reporting cybercrimes, in sharing technical information on ongoing or past attacks and in securing electronic evidence. Do governments and private actors have the capacity to protect critical infrastructure from hacking? What are the challenges and limitations? Watch the video of the session, below.
