Cyber-attacks Within Vital Organisation | Vitens perspective on how to deal with cyber threat

June 13, 2023

During this Vision Dinner, Matthijs Zwart, CIO & CISO, will take you through the security approach within Vitens. As a vital company that must always deliver, breaches can have serious consequences. The risk of no access to drinking water is at stake. To avoid this threat Vitens for instance simulates scenarios in which the software doesn’t function for an extended period of time to see if the company can still supply drinking water without computers.

After the presentation, there is the opportunity for an open discussion with Matthijs and the other participants. You are most welcome to join!
