“There is still time to register and we strongly encourage cyber security leaders and professionals to sign-up for this rare opportunity to share their wisdom and engage with other thought leaders,” said NCSC’s Cameron.
Scott Bartlett, head of cyber security consulting at the Leonardo group, is attending.
“5G enables greater use of machine-to-machine communications in safety critical environments such as power distribution,” he said. “This means that any vulnerabilities in 5G could allow a hacker to disrupt critical national infrastructure. In the context of energy distribution, this would mean a hack on a single part of the energy distribution infrastructure for the UK could result in regional blackouts through the malicious exploitation of the decision logic used to balance voltage across the UK.”
