Crisis-Resilient Security Protocols: Building Adaptive Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure under Political and Economic Turbulence:
Keywords:
Adaptive cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, crisis resilience, cybersecurity protocols, real-time response, political instabilityAbstract
This study investigates how to develop crisis-resistant cybersecurity practices to cover critical infrastructure and help it sustain a high level of stability during political and economic disturbances. The research focuses on resilient security designed to sustain critical services such as energy, healthcare and traffic operations under the uncontrollable circumstances. By utilizing the mixed research design (the data analysis and case studies), the study critiques the existing frameworks and reveals the significance of flexibility and prompt reaction to decrease the risk of cyber-attacks. Significant discoveries have indicated that effective measures are based on real-time surveillance, cross-country cooperation and ever-evolving alteration of systems. This paper focuses on the fact that the patch-and-pray approach to cybersecurity caused by the lack of a dynamic cybersecurity architecture result in the need to replace not only the crisis-reactive cybersecurity architecture but also the pre-emptive threats significantly reducing vulnerability. The study itself will add to the discussion on how to protect critical infrastructure against a changing set of risks to provide actionable intelligence that can be used by policymakers and people in the security industry. It gives guidelines to the way to increase resilience in the light changing political and economic environments.
