Secure by Design: Embedding Enterprise Cyber Resilience into Critical Infrastructure
Secure by Design and Resilience by Design embed security, resilience and recoverability as fundamental requirements throughout the entire lifecycle of critical infrastructure through the three pillars: preparedness, adaptability, and recovery.
