TECHNICAL MEASURES
It is important to establish an effective technical platform which includes
both physical infrastructure and human capacity. The key objectives
identified for this area are:
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS ARE RESILIENT
IN THE FACE OF CURRENT AND FUTURE CYBER THREATS
The protection of the nation’s critical infrastructure is a priority and
will of necessity require collaboration of all relevant stakeholders. The
critical infrastructure community includes public and private entities
which provide information and services which underpin the social and
economic well-being of a nation. Today almost all infrastructures are
becoming increasingly dependent on IT or industrial control systems
(ICS) and, in many cases, both IT and ICS that guarantee their smooth
and reliable operations. This Strategy will ensure that action is taken to
adequately secure these systems from attacks and if penetrated there
are measures in place for minimal downtime.
