[Matunda Nyanchama]

Critical infrastructure protection based on sound risk management was the subject of my presentation at a past AITEC conference in Nairobi. I can share the presentation with those interested.

As we become more and more dependent on complex interconnected infrastructure, the chances of failure increases; ditto for potetial negative impact. We need a comprehensive mapping of critical components of this infrastructure, an assessment of associated risks and finally clear mitigation steps, including rapid response mechanisms to deal with incidents when they happen.

The essence of business continuity comes to play here and needs to be the basis of risk assessment with respect to availability.

Baadaye.
