Critical Infrastructure, Hybrid War and Resilience

How do we keep society running when the systems we depend on become targets? Starting with a brief geopolitical overview, Ken Bonefeld Nielsen explores how hybrid attacks affect modern society—from digital infrastructure to energy, transport and other critical sectors. We examine the attacker’s business case for targeting industrial control systems and operational technology (ICS/OT), alongside other essential systems. Finally, we explore how to strengthen resilience—and turn a complex security challenge into opportunities for innovation, business and growth.
