As critical infrastructure around the world becomes increasingly connected to digital systems, the need to protect the physical components that underpin them is growing. Power, water, transport, and other essential services are no longer isolated systems; they are now deeply integrated into digital environments. However, as these systems become more accessible, the potential for exploiting public vulnerabilities in the technology grows. Such vulnerabilities are targeted by antagonistic actors, leading to serious consequences for vital societal functions, says Mikael Andersson, who works with Secure Networks at Tutus.
