Resilience of Critical Infrastructures
Abstract:
Controlled improvement in the reliability and security of any system
requires a comprehensive analysis. This requires the systematic
identification of the fundamental underlying components of the
system using a rigorous discipline. If successful, this process will
illuminate areas for concern and identify areas for potential system
enhancements. Such comprehensive analysis can be conducted
for communications infrastructure using a framework of eight
ingredients. This paper will explore these eight ingredients and
identify their usage in vulnerability analysis and best practice
identification for enhancing the reliability and security of
communications infrastructure.
