During a combined Water Sector Cyber-Physical Resilience Briefing on February 28 at 2 pm ET, speakers from the FBI will discuss nation-state threats to critical infrastructure in both the cyber and physical domains. In recent years, adversarial nation-states, such as China, Russia, and Iran, have conducted increasingly aggressive operations in cyberspace and the business world as part their strategic goal of undermining the U.S. and its allies and compromising U.S. critical infrastructure. Towards that end, these adversarial countries have leveraged access to U.S. critical infrastructure through a range of activities from cyber intrusions to legitimate business practices. These operations have also involved hostile states exploiting insiders at organizations, in both the physical and cyber domains, to disrupt infrastructure operations and sow discord.
To help us better understand this threat and ways to defend against it, the FBI speakers will discuss past cases of foreign compromise of U.S. critical infrastructure systems, lessons learned, recommendations for preventing compromise from an adversarial nation-state, and other useful tips. The speakers will also highlight Hybrid Commercial Threat activity and insider threats emanating from both the physical and cyber domains.
