Resiliens inom kritiska infrastrukturer - Kartläggning och analys av kritiska infrastrukturers arbete med resiliens

Sammanfattning: There have been much effort during the last decade towards resilience of critical infrastructures, but the research differs and resilience within critical infrastructures is still seen as a relatively new and unexplored area. The purpose of this work is to provide an understanding of how critical infrastructures in Sweden work with resilience. The objective is to create a general framework that can be used to map and analyse how critical infrastructures work with resilience. Based on previous publications, resilience was defined as a concept comprising four abilities; anticipate, resist, recover, and adapt. Using this definition as a foundation, a framework for data collection and analysis was created. The framework describes how critical infrastructures can work with the abilities of resilience based on previous literature. Three critical infrastructures within Sweden were analysed; Rescue service, Electricity supply, and Telecommunications. The analysis was based on information from two to three actors for each critical infrastructure. Information from each actor was collected through a survey, interview, e-mail contact and documents and was analysed through the framework to map how the critical infrastructures work with resilience. The results show that Rescue service works with adaptation the most and with robustness the least. Electricity supply work with anticipation and recovery the most and with adaptation the least. Telecommunications work with anticipation and recovery the most and with robustness the least. The framework is deemed adequate to provide indications of how critical infrastructures work with the abilities for resilience.
