Cloud and Resilience for Critical Infrastructure: Practical Implications and Best Practices
As Europe's digital backbone grows more critical, so does its exposure to disruption. This session explores how operators, regulators, and engineers are rethinking infrastructure design to withstand geopolitical, environmental, and technical shocks, without sacrificing the pace of innovation.
Cloud infrastructure is no longer simply an IT decision. It has become a strategic resilience capability. From energy and healthcare to transportation and government services, the ability of critical infrastructure operators to withstand, adapt to, and recover from disruption increasingly depends on secure, resilient, and trusted digital infrastructure.
This session explores how organizations can translate the concept of resilience into operational reality. Lars Fischer and Rebekka Weiss will discuss how cloud technologies support continuity of critical services, improve cyber resilience, and enable faster response and recovery during crises. The discussion will highlight practical experiences, emerging best practices, and the lessons learned from supporting highly regulated and mission-critical environments.
The session will further examine the intersection of resilience, security, and digital sovereignty, including how organizations can maintain control, meet regulatory requirements, and reduce strategic vulnerabilities while continuing to innovate.
Designed for policymakers, regulators, infrastructure operators, and security leaders, this session offers actionable insights into building resilient digital foundations for the critical infrastructure of the future.
