Critical Infrastructure Protection in Homeland
Security: Defending a Networked Nation (Hardcover), by Ted G. Lewis,
Wiley-Interscience; Har/Cdr edition (April 21, 2006).
This book offers a unique
scientific approach to the new field of critical infrastructure protection: it uses
network theory, optimization theory, and simulation software to analyze and understand how
infrastructure sectors evolve, where they are vulnerable, and how they can best be
protected. The author demonstrates that infrastructure sectors as diverse as water, power,
energy, telecommunications, and the Internet have remarkably similar structures. This
observation leads to a rigorous approach to vulnerability analysis in all of these
sectors. The analyst can then decide the best way to allocate limited funds to minimize
risk, regardless of industry sector. Information
