Abstract

Cyber safety and resilience are essential properties of the increasingly complex and interdependent systems that support the modern economy. Cyber safety refers to the ability of digital systems to maintain adequate levels of safety during operation, including in the event of a cyberattack or accidental event, protecting life and property. Safety is a desirable property of a system during normal operation, whereas resilience describes the capacity of a system to handle disruptions to operation. Cyber resilience refers to the ability of digital systems to prepare for, withstand, rapidly recover and learn from deliberate attacks or accidental events. It encompasses people-centred aspects of resilience such as reporting, crisis management and business continuity. This report presents the broad range of challenges that need to be addressed to improve the cyber safety and resilience of systems. The evolving nature of the challenges will require continual responsiveness and agility by government, regulators, organisations and their supply chains. The report identifies measures needed to address these challenges across all sectors. To help illustrate these general principles, the report shows how they can apply to connected health devices in the health sector.
