Resilience Approach to Critical Information Infrastructures
conference paper
This chapter discusses new societal risk due to the fast information and communication as well as operational technology changes which are not yet fully taken into account by governmental policymakers and egulators. Internet-of-things, cloud computing, mass consumer markets and embedded operational technologies are some of the areas outlined in this chapter which may be the cause for serious disruptions of critical infrastructures, critical information infrastructures, essential services, and the undisturbed functioning of the society. Current national protection approaches mainly focus on the classical telecommunication sector and the stovepiped critical sectors such as energy, health, transport, etcetera. This chapter argues that a change of mind and actions are needed to properly govern the new cyber risk before serious incidents occur and that such a new approach is urgently needed to make the societies at large more resilient.
