<span class="normaltextrun"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">“The nation’s health, safety, and economy depend on the functioning of complex and interconnected infrastructure systems that provide critical services
to communities across the nation,” said Dr. David Mussington, Executive Assistant Director for Infrastructure Security. “The evolution and escalation of threats and stressors to critical infrastructure, combined with their increased reliance on information
technology, operational technology, and data, have led to an exponential increase in risks to our national security. A key means of reducing these risks is the production of relevant and accessible resilience-based critical infrastructure research and innovation.
I thank the experts that contributed to this paper. I encourage national policymakers, the sector risk management agencies, and federal research institutes to focus resources on addressing recommended strategies so that our investments will be targeted to
improve security and resilience outcomes for the people we serve.”</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
