Building resilience
July 20, 2021
Being a resilient society is a new defence norm to effectively deal with and respond to your security environment that is increasingly becoming uncertain, complex and unpredictable.
The security environment for nuclear and non-nuclear-armed states is changing because it is now characterised with traditional and non-traditional threats together with threats that are hybrid in nature and could be driven autonomously. Resilience helps counter threats across the spectrum. To establish deterrence against such threats it is critical for states to defend themselves by creating resilient societies capable of denying adversaries the incentive to target government mechanism, civil population and critical civilian infrastructure
