2025 WORLD READINESS GUIDE
Cyber-physical systems security is not just about stopping threats.
It’s the foundation of modern life.
We live together in an interconnected, global ecosystem. When supply chains, hospitals, commerce, infrastructure, and governments run smoothly, economies and the people in them thrive. But when these systems are disrupted, life is interrupted.
