Networks must have redundancies so that if systems are crashed by hackers, isolated backups can jump into their place. Systems must be resilient enough to spot threats in real-time, alert the system manager and take immediate self-protective action. The best way we know to currently protect infrastructure is to make sure these redundancy and resiliency measures are in place and to test and revise them frequently. Hackers are constantly attempting different and more effective ways of invading these systems. Elements of a comprehensive safety plan include: ...
