TYPOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE CRITICALINFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to identify links which are important from
the Critical Infrastructure vulnerability point of view. There are briefly described
and compared different procedures for the identification and designation of
critical infrastructures and the assessment of the need to improve their protection.
Critical Infrastructure is currently looking for its contents, structure, purpose, and
political context. Suitable criteria for its identification and the assessment of
potential risks are looked for and some of the first attempts of simulation and the
creation of a model for a “System of Systems” are appearing. The practicism of
the crisis management is being moved into the sphere of the “science of safety”.
