The role of Information Technology Sector is highly important for the security, economy, well-being and public safety of the nation. As software, hardware, IT systems and services become vital tools in our everyday lives, we find that both private citizens and establishments such as businesses, governments, and academic institutions increasingly reliant on them.
This sector, in partnership with the Communications Sector, forms the backbone of the Internet. Identifying threats and assessing vulnerabilities in this intricately connected and constantly changing environment can be challenging. This necessitates a cooperative and innovative approach.
A network of diverse entities operates IT Sector functions. These include respective associations and owners and operators that maintain and restore the network, including the Internet. The structure of the IT infrastructure, while remarkably resilient inherently, presents consolidation-related challenges due to its interdependent nature and interconnectedness.
This combination of interconnectedness and resilience can be leveraged to synchronize efforts in preparing for and preventing potential threats between the public and private sectors.
