Consequences of a long-lasting and widespread restriction of Internet-based Services and infrastructures
Abstract
Our society is characterized by a high degree of digitalization and an increasing dependence on technology over time. The robustness of developed systems suffers due to the increasing specialisation of technical solutions and the reduction of redundancies in favour of an expected increase in efficiency. As a result, the threat posed by so-called "networked crises" (e.g. a blackout or an Internet failure) increases noticeably. These are based on an extraordinary complexity, which organizations or regions cannot cope with on their own. It is therefore to be feared that a long-lasting, large-scale restriction of Internet-based services could result in massive functional and supply disruptions. This would trigger a chain of supply bottlenecks that would pose a threat to public order. In order to strengthen the digital resilience of our society, it is necessary to be able to assess the possible consequences of an event. Only in this way can interruptions in the coordination chain of emergency organisations be recognised at the level of the SCM and meaningful courses of action be developed.
