Abstract: Abstract The infrastructure of a society consists of facilities such as communications, power supplies, transportation, water supplies, and the stock of buildings. In a broad definition of infrastructure, it is also possible to include basic societal functions like education, national defense, and financial and judicial systems. Here, the notion critical infrastructure will refer to the collection of large technical systems, for example electric power grids, which form the basis for most activities in a modern society, and are of great importance for the economic prosperity. Today, critical infrastructure protection is also considered to be a matter of national security.1
