The information infrastructure, which includes computers, networks, and software systems, is essential for operations across various sectors such as telecommunications, finance, energy, agriculture, public health, and transportation. The effective functioning of global business, government, and society relies on the integrity of this critical infrastructure; any degradation or disruption can have severe consequences. This volume presents original research and innovative applications in the field of critical infrastructure protection, emphasizing the integration of science, technology, and policy to develop practical solutions for securing information and network assets. Key topics include control systems security, infrastructure modeling, simulation, and risk assessment. This book is the tenth in an annual series by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 11.10, which brings together scientists, engineers, and policymakers focused on infrastructure protection. It features fourteen edited papers from the Tenth Annual IFIP WG 11.10 International Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection held in Arlington, Virginia, in 2016. This resource is valuable for researchers, faculty, graduate students, and professionals interested in homeland security and infrastructure resilience.

The information infrastructure, including computers, networks, and software systems, is essential for operations across various sectors such as telecommunications, finance, energy, agriculture, public health, and government. The effective functioning of global business, industry, and society relies on the integrity of this critical infrastructure. This work presents original research and innovative applications in the interdisciplinary field of critical infrastructure protection, emphasizing the integration of science, technology, and policy to develop practical solutions for securing information and network assets. Key areas covered include Control Systems Security, Cyber-Physical Systems Security, Infrastructure Security, Modeling and Simulation, and Risk Assessment. This volume is part of an annual series from the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 11.10, which focuses on advancing research and implementation efforts in infrastructure protection. It features nineteen edited papers from the Ninth Annual IFIP WG 11.10 International Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection, held in Arlington, Virginia, in 2015. This resource is valuable for researchers, faculty, graduate students, and policymakers with interests in homeland security. The editors, Mason Rice and Sujeet Shenoi, bring expertise from their respective academic positions.
