Critical Infrastructure Security

Critical infrastructure security refers to the protection of systems, networks, and assets whose continuous operation is deemed necessary to ensure the security of a nation, its economy, and the public’s health & safety. Critical infrastructure security is critical in protecting society’s and the economy’s vital systems and services, such as power and water distribution networks, transportation and communications grids.
