The resilience of entities and operators providing essential services to society is deeply intertwined with the interdependencies between different sectors. To effectively assess and mitigate risks, it is crucial to prioritize critical infrastructures based on the services they provide. A comprehensive matrix of priorities was developed to analyze the potential impact of disruptions to these infrastructures on various sectors, such as healthcare, transportation, communication, and energy.
By understanding these interdependencies and prioritizing critical infrastructures accordingly, policymakers and industry leaders can develop strategies to enhance resilience and ensure the continuity of essential services in the face of potential threats, whether natural disasters, cyberattacks, or other disruptions.
