Subject: The Y2K crisis involved thousands of firms and nearly every government in the world in a massive effort to head off potential system failures in computer infrastructures that were feared in the event of the date change from 1999 to 2000. In the wakr of these efforts, costing hundreds of billions of dollars over several years, massive system failures did not materialize. Did the large-scale global effort prevent these failures? What are the relevant lessons from Y2K for critical infrastructure protection (CIP) more generally and where do we need to know more? This project addressed those questions.
