How to Navigating Continuous Cyber Warfare: Panel Discussion

Panelists at the 2026 SECURITY 500 Conference will be diving into the high-stakes intersection of critical infrastructure protection and geopolitics. In an age of constant global cyber conflict, this discussion is essential to the defense of vital networks.
This panel, “Fragile Lifelines: Navigating a World of Continuous Cyber Warfare,” will discuss how nation-states leverage “low and slow” stealth tactics for pre-positioning within essential services (like energy, water, and transportation) to transform them into tools of geopolitical leverage.
