Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Infrastructure security is the security provided to protect infrastructure, especially critical infrastructure, such as airports, highways rail transport, hospitals, bridges, transport hubs, network communications, media, the electricity grid, dams, nuclear reactors, seaports, oil refineries, and water systems. Infrastructure security seeks to limit vulnerability of these structures and systems to sabotage, terrorism, and contamination. Critical infrastructures naturally utilize information technology as this capability has become more and more available. As a result they have become highly interconnected, and interdependent. Intrusions and disruptions in one infrastructure might provoke unexpected failures to others. How to handle interdependencies becomes an important problem. The most recent example of vulnerable infrastructure was in 2003, when New York City and other Eastern towns experienced a blackout that appears to have originated in the Midwest, and possibly from a tree branch.
