2022年7月,警务文职秘书处代理警务秘书发布了《关键基础设施保护条例》,并邀请公众发表评论。以下链接的提交文件由非洲信息通信技术研究所高级研究助理Scott Timcke博士撰写,重点关注与人工智能风险和网络安全相关的问题。《条例》的许多部分设计良好;RIA提出了两个可以进一步发展的主要领域。首先,可以修改《条例》,以包括定期固定的时间框架,向特定的议会联合委员会、常务委员会和投资组合委员会提交书面报告。这些报告可以加强对有效民主至关重要的制衡。其次,《条例》强调关键基础设施的物理安全,尽管这种理解可以将其扩展到包括网络、财政甚至环境安全因素,这些因素在我们当代同样重要
僵尸网络是感染了恶意软件的计算机网络,攻击者控制并利用它来实现恶意网络活动。决策者可以结合复杂的自适应系统视角来评估他们的组织和直接网络以及整个生态系统是否具有足够的适应性和弹性来响应僵尸网络活动。
Bank runs as a source of systemic risk are nothing new. To manage systemic risks in the age of social media, regulators may need to anticipate where the crisis will go and build in automatic brakes to slow them down. There likely won't be time to react at the speed of negotiation between regulators and bankers.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) operates multiple hazard mitigation assistance (HMA) grant programs as a way to promote a national culture of preparedness and public safety, mitigate the consequences that disasters have for communities and infrastructure, and reduce future draws on the Disaster Relief Fund. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act requires FEMA to ensure that these mitigation activities are cost-effective. To determine cost-effectiveness, FEMA currently requires any project seeking HMA grants to include a benefit–cost analysis (BCA), implemented in accordance with Office of Management and Budget Circular A-94. Applicants for mitigation grants have provided extensive feedback that the BCA process is cumbersome and that finding the right data to include in the calculations of costs and benefits is difficult. FEMA is concerned that the administrative burdens and the costs of application processes could discourage subapplicants with fewer resources from applying or place them at a disadvantage in developing quality applications. Furthermore, two 2021 executive orders direct federal agencies to achieve greater equity and fairness in allocating federal resources. Two HMA grant programs have been selected as pilot programs for the corresponding federalwide Justice40 Initiative. The authors found that FEMA's dual goals of equity and simplicity occasionally compete, that FEMA has the authority to implement recommended changes, and that FEMA's approach to BCA differs from those of other federal entities. The authors identify nine changes that FEMA could implement to address the inequities introduced by the use of BCA in the HMA grant process.
Millions of Americans woke up Wednesday morning to find out they weren't going anywhere. Around 6:30 a.m., the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that its Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system had failed. By 9 a.m. the ground stop was lifted, but the damage was already done. Thousands of flights were It appears that the NOTAM outage was the result of a system failure, but the nation's critical infrastructure faces a range of threats—everything from Russian hackers, to weather events, to angry individuals with guns. So, the failure and subsequent air travel chaos brought on by this latest cyber failure could serve as a real-life demonstration of what might happen if risks to critical infrastructure systems are left unaddressed. It is too early to know the exact causes and consequences of the NOTAM failure, but two things are clear: It was bad, and it could have been worse.
如果太空大国之间没有进一步的合作和协议,最终可能会建立多种相互竞争的治理体系,从而进一步增加冲突的可能性。现在是解决这个问题的时候了,这样深空资源的利用就有助于地球和整个太阳系的繁荣、安全和自由。
