RESILIENCE AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

Critical infrastructure resilience is about sustainment continuity of delivering essential
sorts the services, energy, goods etc. regardless of disruptive events that may occur. In this
context infrastructure resilience it is possible to see as the ability to reduce the magnitude
and/or duration of disruptive events. The effectiveness of a resilient infrastructure or enterprise
depends upon its ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and/or rapidly recover from a
potentially disruptive event. Protection and resilience critical infrastructure are not opposing
concepts; they represent complementary and necessary elements of a risk management. The
foundation developed for critical infrastructure protection continues to be an essential part of
risk management in all critical infrastructure sectors.
