520 _a"...excellent for use as a text in information assurance or cyber-security courses...I strongly advocate that professors...examine this book with the intention of using it in their programs." (Computing Reviews.com, March 22, 2007) "The book is written as a student textbook, but it should be equally valuable for current practitioners...this book is a very worthwhile investment." (Homeland Security Watch, August 17, 2006) Critical Infrastructure Protection is the only book that emphasize a scientific approach to protecting the key infrastructures components of a nation.. It analyzes the complex network of entities that make up the a nations's infrastructure, and identifies vulnerabilities and risks in various sectors by combining network science, complexity theory, risk analysis, and modeling and simulation. This approach reduces the complex problem of protecting water supplies, energy pipelines, telecommunication stations, power grid, and Internet and Web networks to a much simpler problem of protecting a few critical nodes. The new edition incorporates a broader selection of ideas and sectors and moves the mathematical topics into several appendices. The book is divided into three parts: I. Historical origins of homeland security and critical infrastructure with emphasis on policy; II. Theory and foundations with emphasis on risk and resilience in the context of complexity theory, network science, and the prevailing theories of catastrophe; and III. Individual sectors including Communications, Internet, Cyber threats, Information technology, Social networks, SCADA, Water and water treatment, Energy, electric power, healthcare and public health, transportation, supply chains, and banking and finance. Five robust appendices augment the non-mathematical chapters with more rigorous explanations and mathematics: Probability primer, risk and resilience, network science, tragedy of the commons equations, and fault-tree analysis. New Edition updates the text, moves the mathematical topics into several appendices, in response to feedback from users of the 2nd edition Classroom proven textbook that includes a set of Powerpoint slides for use by lecturers, as well as an instructor's guide with answers to exercises.for academic adopters of the book. Comprehensive coverage includes theories of catastrophes, details of how sectors work, and solves the problem of enormous size and complexity a primary problem of critical infrastructure protection"--
