The EU Agency ENISA (the European Network and Information Security Agency) has published a report on the resilience of communication networks.

The survey found that operators take network resilience seriously:

* It found a better than expected network availability, with only 10 hours downtime a year on average.
* Top network threats are hardware, software and location incidents, but also personnel incidents were also significantly represented.
* Operators describe their network and risk management procedures as ‘fairly mature’.
* There is no significant variation by size of operator regarding business continuity procedures.

The report was Commissioned by ENISA and executed by the IDC.
