In the crossfire : critical infrastructure in the age of cyber war In the wake of the financial crisis, assuring the integrity and availability of key national industries may no longer be government priority, but this is a crucial point of strategic vulnerability. Six hundred IT and security executives from critical infrastructure enterprises across seven sectors in 14 countries worldwide answered a survey about their practices, attitudes and policies on security–the impact of regulation, their relationship with government, specific security measures employed on their networks, and the kinds of attacks they face. The replies indicate repeated cyberattack, often by high-level adversaries. The impact is often severe with a high cost. Although they generally report satisfaction with the security resources available to them the recession has cut widely and deeply. Significantly there is concern about how well-prepared critical infrastructure is to deal with large-scale attacks.
