As extreme weather, growing populations, and other natural and anthropogenic threats place increasing stress on our transportation, water, energy, and social infrastructure, we’ll need to do more to ensure their continued resilience. In addition, as new and aging systems become increasingly online and hyperconnected, we’ll have to be thorough in securing them against a growing cyber threat. To address these issues and maintain infrastructure that’s strong enough to handle whatever the future holds, we should focus our efforts on three priority areas that contain opportunities for rapid, far-reaching progress: Targeted technology infusion, enhanced cybersecurity for operational technology (OT), and streamlined regulatory processes.
