ACTION ITEM 10 RESOURCES Analysis of costs related to cyber events is a useful baseline for financial planning and allocation of resources, since risk relevance is proportional to event probability and impact. Adequate costs’ evaluation can also support intervention activities over specific vulnerabilities and redirect investments within both the public and the private sector. 10.1 Financial planning a. Identify priorities and budget related to Critical Infrastructures’ cybersecurity and cyberdefense as well as costs related to development of fundamental capacity both in terms of physical resources and human capital. 10.2 Evaluation of cyber-events relevant costs a. Identify relevant metrics for the evaluation of cyber-events’ economic impact (detection, remediation, reputational damage, loss of clients and competitiveness, etc.). b. Analyze Critical Infrastructures’ interdependencies in order to improve the evaluation of cyber-events’ economic impact in case of a “domino effect”. c. Map incidents and potential scenarios from an economic point of view. 10.3 Promoting efficient spending a. Implement efficient cyberdefence spending measures at national (public, public-private) and international (through cooperation programs) level. 10.4 Human capital a.
