Empirical findings on European critical infrastructure dependencies
article
One type of threat consistently identified as a key challenge for
critical infrastructure protection (CIP) is that of dependencies and
interdependencies among different critical infrastructures (CI). This article
draws on a hitherto untapped data source on infrastructure dependencies: a
daily maintained database containing over 4500 serious disruption events in
different CI all over the world as reported by news media. This article based
upon the empirical data set until June 2009 analyses this data to discover
patterns in CI failures in Europe like cascading, dependencies, and
interdependencies. Some analysis results indicate that fewer sectors than many
dependency models suggest drive cascading outages and that interdependencies
are hardly reported
