Summary/Abstract: Critical infrastructures are the most sensitive, most vulnerable domain of any system and process. Their sensitivity derives from their special role in the structure, stability and smooth operation of systems or processes. Vulnerabilities are processes, phenomena, de facto situations that diminish the capacity of critical infrastructure responses to existing or potential risks or favor their emergence and development, with consequences for their proper functioning and utility. Lack of knowledge or management of vulnerabilities can generate risk factors, threats or threats to the objectives, the value and to the national interests of critical infrastructures. Vulnerability is usually proportional to the role played by critical infrastructures. It follows, however well protected, critical infrastructures will always have a high degree of vulnerability, they are the first to target when in the process of destabilization and even destroying a system or process.
