CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE INTERDEPENDENCIES

Summary/Abstract: The term "infrastructure" is defined as a network of interdependent systems and processes (usually private) which work closely and convergent to produce and distribute a continuous flow of goods and services essential to the development of a nation (society). The critical infrastructures of a country are interconnected and mutually dependent in many ways,both physically and through a series of communications and information technologies. This causes the disruptions produced to the infrastructure to affect, directly or indirectly, other facilities or they may have a major impact on a relatively large geographical regions, with repercussions on the global economy.
