Civil Engineering, Cyper-Crime, and Infrastructure Resiliency

From Arup and the power and pitfalls of engineering in a hyper-connected world:

"In a connected world, the service improvements that technology makes possible also bring with them additional dangers. The London Underground is an example of this, facing increasing demand on its railway system, London has added more trains and therefore runs them much closer together, with digital technology controlling and managing the service. Great news for passengers, but this also means that malware-related incidents or failures have a potentially bigger effect on the network and affect a greater number of travelers. And with more rail commuters, the network’s need to recover and return the service to normal will be an even bigger priority."
