Advanced threats, basic failures: The detection gap in critical infrastructure

This article was produced by Control Risks, a member of IPFA

As threat actors become more sophisticated, many infrastructure operators remain vulnerable to relatively simple attacks and operational failures. This article examines the gap between evolving threats and organisations’ ability to detect and respond to them. It highlights the role of monitoring, intelligence, governance and operational preparedness in strengthening resilience and reducing exposure to increasingly complex security risks across critical infrastructure sectors.
