Terrorist cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, a global challenge to be debated at the Universitat de València
Published
The Universitat de València has announced a conference on a topic of great importance for security: terrorist cyberattacks against critical infrastructure. The title of the event is «A Global Challenge». The talk will be given by Professor Miguel Olmedo Cardenete, a full professor at the university.
Critical infrastructure refers to the systems that enable the basic functioning of a society, such as energy, water, telecommunications or transport. If a computer attack affects these services, the consequences can reach many people at the same time. For this reason, governments and security experts consider the protection of these systems to be a priority.
The issue is also relevant for Spain, which has public services and communication networks that are very closely interconnected. The conference will analyse how terrorist groups could use digital technology to attack these systems and what measures can be adopted to prevent it. According to the published information, the aim is to explain the problem from an academic perspective and offer a clear view of the risks.
In conclusion, the event offers the opportunity to better understand a threat that goes beyond borders. Cyberattacks against critical infrastructure require cooperation between countries, institutions and universities. The conference at the Universitat de València may be a starting point for understanding this challenge and its possible solutions.
