Progress toward Resilient Infrastructures: Are we falling behind the pace of events and changing threats?

Abstract

The current strategy for achieving resilient infrastructures is making progress too slowly to keep up with the pace of change as evidenced by a continuing stream of “shock” events. How do we better anticipate changing threats and recognize emerging new vulnerabilities in an increasingly interconnected world? We are facing a Strategic Agility Gap that requires us to revise our current perspective and processes if we are to make meaningful progress.
