14.3	Resilient systems design
Resilient systems can resist and recover from adverse incidents such as software failures and cyberattacks. They can deliver critical services with minimal interruptions and can quickly return to their normal operating state after an incident has occurred. In designing a resilient system, you have to assume that system failures or penetration by an attacker will occur, and you have to include redundant and diverse features to cope with these adverse events.
Designing systems for resilience involves two closely related streams of work:
Identifying critical services and assets Critical services and assets are those elements of the system that allow a system to fulfill its primary purpose. For example, the primary ...
