Resilient infrastructures through (pre-) standardization: The STRATEGY Perspective

Nowadays, threats and hazards being faced by Critical Infrastructures (CIs) become more frequent and complex, underlining the need for effective crisis management processes across all phases of the respective cycle. Standardised practices for preparing, responding, and mitigating the onset and results of such crises will enhance the efficiency of crisis management and improve the overall resilience of the CIs. In the framework of STRATEGY project, pre-standardisation tasks addressing interoperability-related issues for systems / procedures across relevant thematical domains of crisis management, were undertaken. This paper analyses a proposed approach for improving the resilience of CIs considering interrelated pre-standardisation outcomes (CEN Workshop Agreements-CWAs) as developed by STRATEGY project.
