Critical Infrastructure Protection in the Information Age
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction A new theme emerging in the information age is critical infrastructure and, in particular, information infrastructure. Infrastructures are indispensable for human welfare, not only because of the important economic, social and other benefits they provide, but also because of the consequences for society-at-large when they fail to meet expected service requirements. Critical infrastructures consist of physical and information-based facilities, networks and assets, which, if disrupted or destroyed would have a serious impact on the health, safety, security or wellbeing of citizens or on the effective functioning of governments and industries. They include, but are by no means limited to, telecom, energy, banking and financial, transportation, water and sewage, healthcare, government and emergency systems.
