Jeffrey Altman of Finadvice argues that geopolitical instability has transformed resilience from a cultural value into an operational imperative for infrastructure investors. While resilience has traditionally been embedded in infrastructure culture, the current global environment demands a more aggressive approach to active defense.

Altman's perspective comes at a critical juncture when infrastructure assets face unprecedented threats from both physical and cyber domains. The shift toward active defense represents a fundamental change in how infrastructure operators must approach risk management, moving beyond traditional passive resilience measures.

This evolution in defensive strategy requires infrastructure investors to fundamentally rethink their operational frameworks and security protocols. The urgent adoption of active defense mechanisms signals a new era where infrastructure resilience must be proactively engineered rather than passively maintained. Industry leaders must now balance traditional infrastructure investment principles with the emerging reality of constant threat mitigation.
