CYBERSPACE RISKS AND THREATS TO CRITICAL INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE

Author(s): Constantin Mincu,Gruia Timofte / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2011

Critical infrastructures are those physical and cyber-based systems essential to the minimal economy and government operations. They include, but are not limited to, telecommunications, energy, banking and finance, transportation, water systems and emergency services, both governmental and private. Many of the national critical infrastructures have historically been physically and logically separate systems that had little interdependence. As a result of progress in communication and information technology and the necessity of improved efficiency, however, these infrastructures have become increasingly automated and interlinked. The same progress has created new vulnerabilities to equipment failure, human error, weather and other natural causes, physical and cyber attacks. Addressing these vulnerabilities will necessarily require flexible, evolutionary approaches that span both the public and the private sectors, and protect both domestic and international security.

CRITICAL INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY - NETWORK INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEMS

Author(s): Cristea Dumitru / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2011

Critical Information Infrastructure security will always be difficult to ensure, just because of the features that make it irreplaceable for other critical infrastructures normal operation. It is decentralized, interconnected, interdependent, controlled by multiple actors (mainly private) and incorporating diverse types of technologies. It is almost axiomatic that the disruption of the Critical Information Infrastructure affects systems located much farther away, and the cyber problems have direct consequences on the real world. Indeed, the Internet can be used as a multiplier in order to amplify the effects of an attack on some critical infrastructures. Security challenges increase with the technological progress. One of the last lines of defense which comes to complete the overall security scheme of the Critical Information Infrastructure is represented by the Network Intrusion Detection Systems.
