The CLAIR Model: A Synthesized Conceptual Framework for Mapping Critical Infrastructure Interdependencies [Guest Diary], (Wed, Feb 25th)
Summary
The article discusses the CLAIR model, a conceptual framework for mapping critical infrastructure interdependencies. This framework aims to help understand and manage the complex relationships between different critical infrastructure sectors, improving resilience and security.
IFF Assessment
A better understanding of critical infrastructure interdependencies helps defenders improve resilience and security.
Defender Context
Understanding critical infrastructure interdependencies is crucial for defenders to identify potential cascading failures and vulnerabilities. Defenders should focus on mapping dependencies within their own organizations and collaborating with other infrastructure providers to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the broader ecosystem. This proactive approach can help mitigate risks and improve overall security posture.
