CII Focus Series: #3 Focus on hybrid threats - Hybrid threats, sabotage, espionage, emergency planning

The third part of the online series in collaboration with Cyberintelligence Institute (CII) and the Netzwerk Digital of the German-Hungarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce focuses on hybrid threats, including sabotage and espionage, and their consequences.

In the face of new geopolitical and security challenges, politics, society and the economy are becoming increasingly vulnerable to such threats. These include cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure, disinformation campaigns, deep fakes, sabotage, drone intrusions and espionage.

Businesses and the economy are exposed to a wide range of threats and are particularly affected by these threats. 

In times of such threats, it is crucial for companies to be able to identify them. They must also prepare for potential dangers proactively. They also need to respond appropriately to avoid significant economic damage.

This event will address questions concerning the nature and purpose of hybrid threats, as well as the methodology behind them. 

Silvia Reischer, a senior advisor at the Cyber Intelligence Institute, will answer these questions, highlighting the specific implications of these threats for companies and how to protect against them.
