Cybersecurity in Critical Infrastructure in Latin America: How to identify, treat and mitigate risks?

With the modernization of infrastructure in cities, public services become increasingly complex and connected. The use of technology, including the capture, management and storage of data in the provision of services to citizens, is the main tool for the integration of critical infrastructure systems in cities.

The proper treatment of risks involving the management of these data can be a factor that mitigates the cyber risks of information leakage, which compromises the provision of services.

In this eMeeting, infrastructure operators, technology and data protection specialists will discuss which mechanisms to identify and mitigate these possible risks, and how to deal with information leakage, drawing on experience with recent cases widely reported by the media.
