Critical Infrastructure
The cyber landscape has changed significantly since the pandemic and the digital transformation movement by organizations.
This has made it easier for cyber criminals to steal all kinds of information, confidential data, usernames, passwords, banking information, just name it they can get it. No industry is immune to cyber-attacks and is a question of when rather than if. Ramifications of a successful cyber-attack across critical infrastructure can affect our society on an individual and global scale.
Critical infrastructure refers to sectors such as telecommunications, internet service providers, emergency services, healthcare, financial services, agriculture, power, etc. These industries form the backbone of a nation’s economy and security – in other words, they are very important. Some of these critical infrastructures also happen to be built on legacy or insecure-by-design Industrial Control System (ICS), Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) components.
Imagine the following scenarios.
- Power plant OT ESD SIS – Emergency Shutdown System of the Safety Instrumentation System being compromised and shutting down the power plant.
- Bank ATM management server compromised with ransomware causing all ATM machines nationwide to be compromised across the bank.
- National healthcare system compromised with a malware resulting in the inability to process in-patient and emergency care.
These scenarios are not hypothetical – there are countless examples across the world where this happened.
The five most-attacked industries in the cyber security space are all part of a nations critical infrastructure: healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, government, and transportation. Knowing this, imagine how vulnerable entire organization, municipalities, districts, cities, counties, states and countries really are to cyber warfare.

What is defined as Critical Infrastructure?
Critical infrastructure describes the physical and cyber systems and assets that are so vital to any nation that their incapacity or destruction would have a debilitating impact on our physical or economic security or public health or safety. Critical infrastructure provides the essential services that underpin our society.
Nations that have developed cyber security strategy have clearly identified the importance of protecting critical infrastructure protection (CIP) that serves the nation.
At a high-level, the sectors that are inclusive within CIP vary from country to country and their overall operational landscape, but majority of these sectors remain the same.
- Electricity and Water
- Chemicals
- Emergency Services
- Financial Services
- Healthcare
- Nuclear Power Plants
- Oil and Gas
- Transport
- ICT
There critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are considered vital to nations where any incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof.
Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience advances a nation’s policy to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure.

Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP)
Critical Information Infrastructure Protection is essential, but at the same time addresses inherent challenges. The increase in technology convergence has created a highly complex ICT ecosystem of interdependencies, within and among sectors. This complexity leads to an increased number of stakeholders and a wider scope of management. The unique characteristics of individual sectors present different types of assets, threats and vulnerabilities requiring sector- specific management. DTS can help you ensure the deployment of adequate.
Regulators has started the initiative to protect CII organizations and their critical services by identifying organizations that are part of the CII in their business sector if your organization was identified in this process.

Critical Infrastructure Protection - Process
DTS has been helping organizations that have been identified as critical infrastructure to implement the right cyber security strategy, resilience, and sustainable framework.
Our process includes:
- Sector Baselining
- Prioritization of Sectors for Implementation
- Engagement of Stakeholders
- Identification of Critical National Services
- Perform Sector / National Risk Assessment
- Identification of Supporting Critical
- Information Infrastructure
- Threat and Vulnerability Assessment
- Sector and National Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
- Define Sector Plans
- Identification of CII
- Cybersecurity Requirements
- Definition of Sector Plans
- Monitor Implementation of Sector Plans
- Implementation of Sector Plans
- Monitoring of Implementation
How can we help protect?
DTS can support in the following.
- Support in building greater collaboration and information sharing between the public and private sectors
- Building partnerships and outreach between sectors
- Cybersecurity thinktank and challenges across industry
- Empower and conquer - security awareness programs across sectors
- Establishing cyber risk management strategies sector-level
- Support in building a plan B and C – concise and future-proofing incident response plans
- Exercise simulated incident response practices – if an incident occurs, you know what to do and can jump straight into remediation and recovery
- Discovery and workshop facilitation between industry
- Development of industry led KPIs, KRIs, KCIs on cybersecurity
- Sector-level Cyber threat intelligence fusion
The cybersecurity industry has changed immensely in the past few years. Global cybercrime damages has skyrocketed to more than $6 trillion by the end of 2021 – it is time to build resilience in critical infrastructure.
