Koenig/Infrastructure Security

Infrastructure security is the security providing to shield infrastructure, specifically critical infrastructure, such as airports, highways rail transport, hospitals, bridges, transport hubs, network communications, media, the electricity grid, dams, power plants, seaports, oil refineries, and water systems. Course Objectives: The first objective of any security policy would be to avoid the existence of damage to the target resource or system. Initial exposure is an important objective of any security policy. In fact, early detection helps in attaining other objectives of the security policy. It is essential to confirm that the amount of loss due to each accident or attack is mitigated. Once the system has met an accident or attack, the disaster recovery is an important objective to be achieved so that the normal operations can be restored as early as possible. It is essential to establish accountability for the damage to the system. Each security policy must aim at fixing accountable for existence of damage and a method of reward and punishment must be defined to promote observance to the secu­rity measures.
