Critical Infrastructure

<p>Critical Infrastructure (CI) is a little understood topic which seems to generate more fear than rational discussion. CIs are considered fundamental to the functioning of modern economies. Moving beyond definitions this volume looks at the <em>iron triangle</em> within CI: power telecom and finance. It introduces the concept of CIs as industrial and enterprise <em>risk conductors</em> highlighting the fact that a CI failure can propagate an impact throughout an enterprise. This text rethinks the concept of a CI according to contemporary factors providing guidance for mitigating risk within the framework of national economies. </p>
