Critical Infrastructure Protection & Resilience Europe 2016

Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience Europe announces the preliminary conference programme for the 2016 conference to be held in The Hague, Netherlands on 2nd-3rd March 2016.

The conference programme delivers a leading line up of international experts to discuss securing Europe’s critical infrastructure.

Incorporating Critical Information Infrastructure Protection / Cyber Security
With the ever increasing threat from cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, the information and data stored and used by CNI systems and operators can be more crucial than the system itself. CIIP is becoming ever more important as
part of the cyber security strategy of an organisation or CNI operator.

Hosted by the Municipality of The Hague and supported by the Hague Security Delta, Critical Infrastructure Protection & Resilience Europe will provide excellent opportunities to meet and network with leading critical national infrastructure stakeholders.
