What “critical infrastructure” means
These are systems where outages or breaches can affect public safety or national resilience—power grids, water treatment, hospitals, transport, and more. Security there mixes cyber controls with physical and operational reality.
What I took away
- A clearer map of CIP concepts before diving into vendor-specific tools.
- How OPSWAT Academy structures modules and assessments.
- Context for secure transfer and hardening conversations when files cross trust boundaries.
