Summary/Abstract: The unprecedented international techno-logical development of certain political-economic sectors has generated significant changes in the security of the contemporary societies. Mainly, the regional economic gap, the need for direct access to certain resources, the combination of several military-political influential factors and not only, have radically transformed the field of the currently known critical infrastructures. Therefore, it is required to rethink the ways of approaching the identification, the protection and the optimization of securing those vital infrastructures which may become critical on the impact of the unpredictable actions both from the outside or from within. We consider that a simple change of viewpoint on the conceptualization and identification of the critical infrastructures, by excluding ones and including others, can significantly alter the impact of certain destructive factors on them. The systemic approach does not only provide a dynamic perspective of the causes and the effects on a structure’s situation, but even more so, it can put us in the position of managing them according to predictive algorithms and processes.
