INTRODUCTION
Reports
in
the
media
regularly
illustrate
that
cyber
threats
are
increasing
in
their
levels
of
persistence
and
sophis3ca3on.
Damage
caused
by
a
cyber
adack
today
can
severely
impact
a
na3on’s
cri3cal
infrastructure.
The
advent
of
the
digital
world
and
the
inherent
interconnec3vity
of
people,
devices
and
organisa3ons
open
up
a
whole
new
playing
field
of
vulnerabili3es.
Given
that
society
is
increasingly
dependent
on
cyber-‐enabled
technologies
for
many
func3ons
of
daily
life,
these
technologies
should
be
underpinned
by
redundancy,
resilience
and
close
scru3ny,
in
order
to
avoid
harmful
disrup3ons.
If
the
internet
were
a
na,onal
economy,
it
would
be
the
fi7h
largest
in
the
world.
The
implica,ons
of
universal
Intern
penetra,on
in
the
future
is
important
because
of
the
role
the
Internet
plays
with
respect
to
cri,cal
infrastructure
