Critical Infrastructure Protection III

More about the book

The information infrastructure, which includes computers, embedded devices, networks, and software systems, is essential for operations across various sectors such as IT, telecommunications, energy, banking, transportation, and public health. The functionality of global business, government, and society relies on the integrity of this critical infrastructure; any degradation or destruction of its components can have severe consequences. This volume, part of an annual series by IFIP Working Group 11.10, focuses on critical infrastructure protection and brings together a community of scientists, engineers, practitioners, and policymakers committed to advancing research and implementation efforts in this field. It features original research and innovative applications aimed at enhancing infrastructure security. The book emphasizes the integration of science, technology, and policy to develop effective and practical solutions for safeguarding information, computer, and network assets across various sectors. It includes seventeen edited papers from the Third Annual IFIP Working Group 11.10 International Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection, held at Dartmouth College in March 2009, all of which were rigorously reviewed by experts in the field.
