This chart illustrates the methodology applied in this guide to both proactive and reactive resilience assurance.

Failure model

We start with a failure model , an abstract description of typical failures, obtained by analysis of various case studies. The failure model includes a description of various failure modes, due to hazards.

Defenses

For each of the hazards we propose various defenses: firewalls for preventing some of the hazards, and facilitators to enabling recovery from the hazards.

Engineering

Finally, we translate the defenses to guidelines, enabling system engineers to integrate them in common practices of system development.
