Enables a proactive approach to risks and threats

Modern society depends on the operations of critical infrastructure being conducted securely and reliably; interruptions to operations can result in significant disruptions, with major financial and societal consequences as a result. Digitization is enabling the development of new and enhanced services provided by critical societal functions, as well as improved efficiency, increased accessibility and greater customer value. This development is happening at an increasing pace and causing interdependencies between systems, infrastructures and suppliers—a digital ecosystem. In this environment, security is no longer an isolated problem, and incidents may affect the whole ecosystem. We need to include these dependencies in risk management and maintain an adaptive approach to security.
