"...a dictionary definition [Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary] for 'resilience' is: 'an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change'. Strategies based on resilience accept that efforts to prevent attacks (reduce threats) and ato defend against those attacks (reduce vulnerabilities), albeit necessary, will inevitably prove insufficient. Strategies based on resilience address all three components of the risk equation in an integrated fashion". (Critical Infrastructure Task Force 2006, 4-5)
