Smart, Connected, Exposed: securing critical infrastructure in the digital age
Critical infrastructure organisations are digitally transforming at speed. Cloud, IoT, GenAI and IT/OT convergence are expanding capabilities and attack surfaces simultaneously. This white paper examines how CI organisations can navigate the tension between digital ambition and cybersecurity readiness and offers a practical framework for building dynamic cyber resilience.

Identify your critical infra exposure, close the gaps before an attack
As CI organisations accelerate adoption of cloud, IoT and GenAI, cybersecurity strategies are struggling to keep pace.
79% of organisations have internet-exposed OT devices. Attackers can move from initial access to full network compromise in under 24 hours. The average cost of a cyberattack in the energy sector reached $4.83M in 2025.
Smart, Connected, Exposed provides a clear view of today’s risk landscape and what to do next:
- The 2025 CI threat landscape including AI-powered attacks, ransomware-as-a-service and emerging quantum risks
- Where the sector stands today, based on data from the Thales 2025 CI Digital Threat Report and insights from 400+ secured assets
- Why compliance with NIS2, IEC 62443 and CIRCIA is necessary but not sufficient
- A practical four-stage resilience model your teams can act on immediately
The window for action is narrowing.
