From Fortress to Resilience

“From Fortress to Resilience” written by Maurizio Martellini, Sandro Bologna and Alessandro Fasani, outlines firstly the need for differentiating approaches between dealing with cyber attacks against critical infrastructures, that must be dealt by engineers, and cyber attacks against government infrastructures and institutions, that must be dealt by the intelligence. The paper then focuses on the imperative of moving from a “fortress” to a “resilience” approach, that’s to say from a preventive, passive defense to an holistic one that can adapt to diverse cyber attacks and can recover and recover quickly when systems are damaged.
