About this ebook
A scientific approach to the new field of critical infrastructureprotection
This book offers a unique scientific approach to the new field ofcritical infrastructure protection: it uses network theory,optimization theory, and simulation software to analyze andunderstand how infrastructure sectors evolve, where they arevulnerable, and how they can best be protected. The authordemonstrates that infrastructure sectors as diverse as water,power, energy, telecommunications, and the Internet have remarkablysimilar structures. This observation leads to a rigorous approachto vulnerability analysis in all of these sectors. The analyst canthen decide the best way to allocate limited funds to minimizerisk, regardless of industry sector.
The key question addressed in this timely book is: What should beprotected and how? The author proposes that the answer lies inallocating a nation's scarce resources to the most criticalcomponents of each infra-structure--the so-called critical nodes.Using network theory as a foundation, readers learn how toidentifya small handful of critical nodes and then allocateresources to reduce or eliminate risk across the entiresector.
A comprehensive set of electronic media is provided on a CD-ROM inthe back of the book that supports in-class and self-tutoredinstruction. Students can copy these professionally producedaudio-video lectures onto a PC (Microsoft Windows(r) and AppleMacintosh(r) compatible) for repeated viewing at their own pace.Another unique feature of the book is the open-source software fordemonstrating concepts and streamlining the math needed forvulnerability analysis. Updates, as well as a discussion forum, areavailable from www.CHDS.us.
This book is essential for all corporate, government agency, andmilitary professionals tasked with assessingvulnerability anddeveloping and implementing protection systems. In addition, thebook is recommended for upper-level undergraduate and graduatestudents studying national security, computing, and otherdisciplines where infrastructure security is an issue.
