Cybersecurity in Nuclear and Critical Infrastructures
Speaker: Professor Angela Mazzeo
Date: June 07, 2025
The lecture “Cybersecurity in Nuclear and Critical Infrastructures”, given by Professor Ângela Mazzeo, is part of the International Cybersecurity Workshop: Digital Frontiers, exploring a topic of growing importance for global and national security.
Critical infrastructure—such as nuclear facilities, power grids, water supply systems, and transportation—is increasingly dependent on digital systems and interconnected technologies. This dependence increases vulnerability to cyberattacks, which can compromise public safety, health, and social well-being.
The lecture addressed the specifics of Cybersecurity applied to nuclear and critical infrastructures.Considering international standards, risk management practices, and emerging trends for the protection of these essential systems, the following topics will be highlighted:
- The evolution of threats and actors involved in cyberattacks against sensitive infrastructure.
- The importance of layered defense strategies and the integration of multidisciplinary teams.
- The role of public policies and international collaborations in mitigating vulnerabilities and ensuring operational resilience.
This lecture offered a comprehensive and up-to-date overview, essential for professionals, researchers, and students seeking to understand the threats and best practices for protecting critical assets in an increasingly digital and interdependent society.
