Critical infrastructure protection IV

Más información sobre el libro

The information infrastructure, which includes computers, networks, and software systems, is essential for operations across various sectors such as telecommunications, energy, finance, transportation, and public health. The functionality of global business, government, and society relies heavily on the integrity of this critical infrastructure; any degradation or destruction of its components can have severe consequences. This volume is the fourth in an annual series by IFIP Working Group 11.10, dedicated to advancing research and development in critical infrastructure protection. It features original research and innovative applications aimed at enhancing infrastructure security. Emphasizing the integration of science, technology, and policy, the book presents practical solutions for safeguarding information and network assets across critical sectors. It includes seventeen edited papers from the Fourth Annual IFIP Working Group 11.10 International Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection, held at the National Defense University in Washington, DC, from March 15–17, 2010. The contributions were peer-reviewed by members of the working group and other recognized experts in the field, ensuring a high standard of scholarship and relevance.
