Metrics for cyber resilience: what to consider for comparing the resilience of states and their computer networks.

Background

Core to the FCO’s work is preparing for and responding to new and sometimes unexpected natural and political events whether opportunity or crisis. Research findings on current and emerging trends to improve future forecasting, or metrics to evaluate the success or otherwise of interventions, would be of interest.

Next steps

Research enquiries should be submitted to email: fcocorrespondence@fco.gov.uk

Science and Innovation Network enquiries may be addressed to the general mailbox: ScienceandInnovationEnquires@fco.gsi.gov.uk or to individual SIN teams overseas at the addresses listed at https://www.gov.uk/world/organisations/uk-science-and-innovation-network
