PROGRESS is Tel Aviv University's sector-level cyber capability maturity model. It is used to assess shared resilience across institutions, operators, and regulators in critical sectors.
The PROGRESS CCMM assessment covers 46 topics across multiple dimensions of operations, generating 24 assessed instances (4x6) for each sector assessed.
The Cyber Resilience Laboratory (CRL) works with sectors and partners on assessments and advice: priorities for improvement and practical next steps. That work runs alongside research and training on sector resilience under stress.
Power, payments, hospitals, and communications rely on networks of firms and public bodies. Sector resilience grows when firms, regulators, and partners coordinate on shared risks and priorities.
The full name of the model is Promoting Global Resilience for Sectors Cyber Capability Maturity Model (PROGRESS CCMM). It supports sector-wide improvement, including international development and capacity building. Short video introduction to PROGRESS [1].
PROGRESS centers on the sector as a whole. Recommendations target shared capability across firms, agencies, and oversight, aligned with how the sector operates as a system.
AI systems run on top of the sectors PROGRESS was built to diagnose: power, data networks, cloud infrastructure, and the supply chains that make them work. AI resilience therefore depends on the cybersecurity of those foundations. The CRL is extending PROGRESS to AI capability maturity; this work is in progress and not yet published.
