ABSTRACT
In comparison, the infrastructure resilience assessment methods described herein represent recent advancements in the field. Although resilience has been recognized and studied as a system property for four decades, it is a relatively new concept in the infrastructure security community. While it is generally agreed that resilience is a desirable and important objective for infrastructure security policies and activities, no consensus exists on how to make infrastructure resilience an actionable, measurable concept. The nine gaps in resilience assessment listed at the end of Chapter 9 are reminders that considerable work remains to be accomplished before resilience can be effectively adopted into infrastructure security activities.
