Description - Critical Infrastructure Protection in Homeland Security by Ted G. Lewis
"...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)
While the emphasis is on the development of policies that lead to
successful prevention of terrorist attacks on the nation?s
infrastructure, this book is the first scientific study of critical
infrastructures and their protection. The book models the
nation?s most valuable physical assets and infrastructure
sectors as networks of nodes and links. It then analyzes the
network to identify vulnerabilities and risks in the sector
combining network science, complexity theory, modeling and
simulation, and risk analysis.
The most critical components become the focus of deeper analysis
and protection. This approach reduces the complex problem of
protecting water supplies, energy pipelines, telecommunication
stations, Internet and Web networks, and power grids 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.
