Cyber Defense Alone Can't Keep Critical Services Running
State chief information officers must prioritize critical infrastructure protection by mapping dependencies and ranking water systems and hospitals by consequence of failure. NASCIO data indicates that cyber defense alone is insufficient; states should test simultaneous failure scenarios and combine cybersecurity measures with engineering safeguards.
Why it matters: State CIOs and infrastructure operators are responsible for ensuring water and hospital systems remain operational; understanding cross-infrastructure dependencies enables prioritized protection that accounts for cascading failure risks.
