Infrastructure Security

Infrastructure security

Infrastructure security involves protecting critical infrastructure, such as airports, hospitals, and power plants, from sabotage, terrorism, and contamination. With the increasing use of information technology, these infrastructures have become interconnected and interdependent, making it crucial to address potential disruptions and vulnerabilities. Incidents at one infrastructure site can have cascading effects on others, as seen in power outages and telecommunication failures caused by events like the 2003 Northeastern American power outage and the 2020 Nashville bombing.
