Critical Infrastructure System Security and Resiliency

With an emphasis on protecting an infrastructure's ability to perform its mission or function, this volume presents a practical methodology for developing an effective protection system that can either prevent undesired events or mitigate the consequences of such events. Developed at Sandia National Labs, the authors analytical approach and methodology enables decision-makers and security experts to perform and utilize risk assessments in a manner that extends beyond the theoretical to practical application. These protocols leverage expertise in modeling dependencies optimizing system resiliency for effective physical protection system design and consequence mitigation.
