Security Implications of the Concept of Resilience. FALL 2020

The Fall 2020 issue of Connections: The Quarterly Journal presents a variety of security-related applications of the concept of resilience. Two articles address the relation to cybersecurity – one presenting a framework for assessing national cyber resilience, and the other the need to enhance the resilience of the armed forces to cyberattacks as one of the tools for hybrid warfare.

The final two articles look at resilience, primarily at community level, in a post-conflict setting.
