Critical Infrastructure Sector
Each national or international strategy and policy identifies different categories of sectors that are considered to offer vital services and thus require protection. A 2008 survey examined the policies of 25 countries and identifies as the most frequently mentioned the following sectors, taken up later in the [1]:
- Banking and Finance (Sektor kritične infrastrukture, ki zagotavlja finance)
- Central Government / Government Services [?]
- (Tele-)Communication / Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) (Sektor kritične infrastrukture, ki zagotavlja informacijsko in komunikacijsko podporo)
- Emergency / Rescue Services [?]
- Energy / Electricity (Sektor kritične infrastrukture, ki zagotavlja energetsko podporo)
- Health Services (Sektor kritične infrastrukture, ki zagotavlja zdravstveno oskrbo)
- Transportation / Logistics / Distribution (Sektor kritične infrastrukture, ki zagotavlja prometne povezave)
- Water (supply) (Sektor kritične infrastrukture, ki zagotavlja preskrbo s pitno vodo)
- Food (Sektor kritične infrastrukture, ki zagotavlja preskrbo s hrano)
- Envoronmental Protection (Sektor kritične infrastrukture, ki zagotavlja varstvo okolja)
The study comments that "these are the core sectors of modern societies, and possibly the areas where a large-scale interruption would be most devastating" [2].
