GIE office, Avenue de Cortenbergh, 100, 1000, Brussels
21 November, 10.00-13.00
Moderator: Andrea Chittaro, Chair of Security SG, Gas Infrastructure Europe
Introduction
European gas infrastructure security is increasingly relevant and action is urgent. We now see much higher threat levels, as well as a broader spectrum of security risks, including terrorism and cybercrime.
As the growth and expansion of digital tools and technology has increasingly permeated our daily lives, the need for cyber security has grown. Once everything is connected, what can we do and what are some scenarios that may eventuate without proper protection from cyber-attacks?
With these increasing risks there is important work to be done on gas infrastructure security at a European-wide level. We are confident that the GIE Security Study Group will both provide invaluable benefit to GIE member companies those challenging times and be a point of reference for EU institutions in the matter of energy infrastructure security.
With the SECURITY DAY the GIE Security Study Group expects to submit messages, raise awareness, inform members about current developments and trends as well as about available tools and methods to mitigate and manage current risks. Additionally, GIE members shall be attracted to contribute actively to the work of the Study Group.
The target audience are the CEOs, Management Directors and Security Managers of GIE Members.
