Theinformation infrastructure---comprising computers, embedded devices, networksand software systems---is vital to day-to-day operations in every sector:information and telecommunications, banking and finance, energy, chemicals andhazardous materials, agriculture, food, water, public health, emergencyservices, transportation, postal and shipping, government and defense. Globalbusiness and industry, governments, indeed society itself, cannot functioneffectively if major components of the critical information infrastructure aredegraded, disabled or destroyed.
CriticalInfrastructure Protection describes original research results and innovativeapplications in the interdisciplinary field of critical infrastructureprotection. Also, it highlights theimportance of weaving science, technology and policy in crafting sophisticated,yet practical, solutions that will help secure information, computer and networkassets in the various critical infrastructure sectors. Areas of coverage include: Themes and Issues,Control Systems Security, Cyber-Physical Systems Security, InfrastructureSecurity, Infrastructure Modeling and Simulation, Risk and Impact Assessment.
Thisbook is the ninth volume in the annual series produced by the InternationalFederation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 11.10 on CriticalInfrastructure Protection, an international community of scientists, engineers,practitioners and policy makers dedicated to advancing research, developmentand implementation efforts focused on infrastructure protection. The book contains a selection of nineteenedited papers from the Ninth Annual IFIP WG 11.10 International Conference onCritical Infrastructure Protection, held at SRI International, Arlington,Virginia, USA in the spring of 2015.

Summary
The
information infrastructure---comprising computers, embedded devices, networks
and software systems---is vital to day-to-day operations in every sector:
information and telecommunications, banking and finance, energy, chemicals and
hazardous materials, agriculture, food, water, public health, emergency
services, transportation, postal and shipping, government and defense. Global
business and industry, governments, indeed society itself, cannot function
effectively if major components of the critical information infrastructure are
degraded, disabled or destroyed.
Critical
Infrastructure Protection describes original research results and innovative
applications in the interdisciplinary field of critical infrastructure
protection. Also, it highlights the
importance of weaving science, technology and policy in crafting sophisticated,
yet practical, solutions that will help secure information, computer and network
assets in the various critical infrastructure sectors. Areas of coverage include: Themes and Issues,
Control Systems Security, Cyber-Physical Systems Security, Infrastructure
Security, Infrastructure Modeling and Simulation, Risk and Impact Assessment.
This
book is the ninth volume in the annual series produced by the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 11.10 on Critical
Infrastructure Protection, an international community of scientists, engineers,
practitioners and policy makers dedicated to advancing research, development
and implementation efforts focused on infrastructure protection. The book contains a selection of nineteen
edited papers from the Ninth Annual IFIP WG 11.10 International Conference on
Critical Infrastructure Protection, held at SRI International, Arlington,
Virginia, USA in the spring of 2015.
Critical
Infrastructure Protection IX is an important resource for researchers, faculty
members and graduate students, as well as for policy makers, practitioners and
other individuals with interests in homeland security.
