Digitization and Societal Disruption

Research for policy, pp. 17–31

Abstract

Abstract Digitization is placing new demands on how we deal with incidents that threaten to undermine core societal functions and processes. Societal disruption will almost inevitably flow from the disruption or failure of digital infrastructure given the interdependence of the digital and physical realms. Digitization also poses new challenges for policy makers as the use of digital technology leads to complex, cross-border networks with geopolitical implications.
