Critical Infrastructure Resilience Against Cyber Threat

Assessing readiness in energy, water and finance against service-disruption attacks.

Demonstration content — studies, names and issues are existing interface specimens, not the institute’s published record.

Abstract

This paper assesses readiness in three critical sectors against disruption attacks and measures actual recovery time against declared figures. It concludes that investment favoured detection over recovery, and proposes readiness indicators measured by exercise rather than by document.
