In this first plenary session ‘Convergence in CIP and CIIP’ will discuss how a collaborative approach to CIP and CIIP is a priority if we are to effectively to safeguard our critical infrastructure. As more and more essential systems are managed electronically, interdependence between systems both physical and cyber needs to be clearly understood to ensure the delivery of services in the face of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and criminal activity.

- Thomas Wuchte, Head of Anti-Terrorism Issues Transnational Threats Department, OSCE

After the plenary session on the first day the conference then breaks down into a unique two track programme, one track for physical security and one for cyber security coming together again on the last day for a final plenary session.

Throughout the 3 days of the conference every effort is made to ensure professionals from all areas of critical infrastructure protection are given every opportunity to meet, to mix, to share information and ideas. It is only through this kind of convergence and collaboration will we be able to safeguard the services and systems vital to the proper functioning of our societies.
