ENISA workshop on Interdependencies between Operators of Essential Services (OES) and Digital Service Providers (DSPs)

The aim of the workshop is to present, analyse and discuss two bidirectional interdependency scenarios with potentially adverse effects: (i) a scenario between the power sector and the telecommunications sector and (ii) a scenario between financial institutions and DSPs.

The digitalization of modern OES has augmented their capabilities and provided utility and efficiency. Still, the adjoined reliance on external services creates inter-sector dependencies that introduce novel threat vectors with potentially serious impact on the provision of essential services.

This one-day event will focus on tangible interdependency scenarios with potentially adverse effects. Two bidirectional interdependency scenarios will be presented and discussed in the two break - out sessions of the workshop:

1. a clock synchronization attack on the telecommunications infrastructure of the power sector and
2. an attack on financial subsystems provided as cloud services to clients and retail providers.

The workshops will actively engage participants in assessing and analysing the security aspects of the scenarios.
