Abstract

This report highlights the critical role of resilient communication networks in a world increasingly dependent on connectivity. It outlines the challenges policymakers face in protecting networks from system failures, malicious actions, and natural disasters. Key strategies for enhancing resilience include redundancy, diversity, and the adoption of innovative technologies such as cloud integration, AI, and software-defined networking. The report also emphasises the value of organisational measures, such as crisis simulations and business continuity management. It offers a comprehensive overview of current policies in OECD Member countries, focusing on infrastructure enhancement, disaster preparedness, transparency, technological innovation, and emergency communications. Finally, it provides insights for shaping robust policies to strengthen network resilience, including the harmonisation of resilience metrics and the promotion of collaboration and information sharing among operators, emergency services, and other stakeholders. The report also underscores the need for continued investment in infrastructure and the adoption of emerging technologies to improve network robustness.
