CPS Security Gap: Why 80% of Critical Infrastructure Remains Unprotected - Part 6

A staggering 80% of critical infrastructure worldwide lacks sufficient protection in the cyber-physical domain — posing a direct threat to national security and public safety.

This segment highlights the critical issue of inadequate cyber-physical systems (CPS) security across global critical infrastructure. The speaker reveals that vast swaths of vital sectors — including energy, water, and nuclear systems — remain insufficiently protected in their cyber-physical domains, creating significant challenges for national security and public safety.

Key topics include:

• Critical infrastructure protection gaps across energy, water, and nuclear sectors

• Cyber-physical systems (CPS) security coverage deficiencies

• OT security deployment challenges at scale

• Industrial cybersecurity challenges facing operators

• The national security implications of unprotected critical infrastructure
