Critical Infrastructure Protection

Defence IQ is excited to announce the Critical Infrastructure Protection taking place on 30/31 March, 2011 in central London. At the Critical Infrastructure Protection Conference, you will hear from a speaker faculty consisting of utilities, government agencies, industry organisations, and the industry that support them.

Since 2001, Critical Infrastructure Protection has taken on a new sense of urgency. Security planners must now think about scenarios that in the past were remote possibilities and be prepared for any eventuality.

Critical Infrastructure Protection will feature experts that are responsible for the complex security planning in building resilience. The conference will look at contingency planning, building resilience and the technology needed to keep our critical infrastructure secure.

What will be discussed?

Building resilience: From emergency preparedness to response and recovery
Securing the network: Developments in secure and flexible security architectures
Incident management lessons from other key stakeholders
Ensuring the right balance between security compliance and business objectives
What are the developments in Physical security solutions for Critical Infrastructure protection?

We are currently designing the agenda and are always looking for the best case studies to share with the community as such If you have a case study to share or product/service to offer to the CIP community please contact us at defence@iqpc.co.uk.
