Critical Infrastructure Vulnerability and Protection

Introduction

In the era of 21st century, the technology has developed the latest and the modern infrastructure. The well constructed infrastructure has been extended all across the world. Thus, the following essay is going to evaluate the critical infrastructure vulnerability and protection.

Infrastructure, its Vulnerability and Protection

The infrastructure is a set of components that provide interconnected structural framework to support the entire structure. The development, security and quality of life in industrialized countries increasingly depend operation, continuous and coordinated, of a set of infrastructure that, due to their importance, are defined critical infrastructures.

The term critical infrastructure is a system, a resource, a process, a set, whose destruction, disruption or even partial or temporary unavailability has the effect of weakening significantly the efficiency and the normal functioning of a country, but also the security and the economic-financial and social, including the apparatus of the central government and local levels.

Interconnectivity of infrastructures

Interconnectivity of infrastructures is the term that is used for the connections that are established between the different modes of infrastructure. The inter link between the air lines, roads, to the sea ports etc. These modes of connections are linked in order to create a sense of belonging and the well developed network of infrastructure. These are:
