GLOBAL CYBER-GEOPOLITICAL INTELLIGENCE 2027: Volume III - Critical Infrastructure, OT and Strategic Dependencies

GLOBAL CYBER-GEOPOLITICAL INTELLIGENCE 2027, Volume III turns to the critical infrastructure and strategic-dependency dimension of the cyber-geopolitical landscape - the systems whose failure cascades through an economy long before any boardroom notices a cyber incident: power grids, telecommunications and subsea cables, space and GNSS, semiconductors and compute, cloud and data centres, and the supply chains and logistics that hold them together.Across ten parts, this volume examines: Critical Infrastructure Systems; OT and ICS Security; Energy Security; Telecommunications and Subsea Cables; Space and GNSS; Semiconductors and Compute; Cloud and Data Centres; Supply Chains and Logistics; Quantum Transition; and Systemic Resilience Engineering.Each part is built around a verified case study - including the Iberian Peninsula blackout, the HSE Conti ransomware recovery, the Viasat KA-SAT attack, the CrowdStrike/July 2024 endpoint outage, and the Texas cold-weather grid failures - paired with an illustrative boardroom dialogue, decision and escalation tables, board-level questions, and a set of operational tools and templates (including the publisher-developed SERVE framework: Service, Enablers, Restoration, Verification, Exceptions) that turn infrastructure dependency into a resilience acceptance argument leadership can stand behind.Written for boards, C-suite executives, critical-infrastructure operators, and corporate resilience and security functions who need to distinguish a genuine cyberattack from an operational or environmental failure, and to plan for both, Volume III closes with a 2027-2030 outlook and a full glossary, bibliography and evidence dossiers for further verification.
