Oftmals wird Kritische Infrastruktur auch mit der Abkürzung des aus dem Englischen entlehnten Substantiv CI (Critical Infrastructure) ausgedrückt. Im internationalen  wie nationalen Sprachgebrauch hat sich auch CIP (Critical Infrastructure Protection) um den Schutz kritischer Infrastruktur auszudrücken, durchgesetzt. Konform dazu wird somit auch der Schutz der kritischen Informations Infrastruktur als CIIP (Critical Information Infrastructure Protection) bezeichnet.

<big>
 
In the approach of the UK, infrastructure is categorised according to its value or “criticality” and the [[impact]] of its loss. This categorisation is done using the Government “[[Criticality Scale]]”, which assigns categories for different degrees of severity of [[impact]].
 
 
 
Not everything within a national infrastructure sector is “critical”. Within the sectors there are certain “critical” elements of [[infrastructure]], the loss or compromise of which would have a major detrimental [[impact]] on the [[availability]] or [[integrity]] of essential services, leading to severe economic or social [[consequence|consequences]] or to loss of life. These “critical” assets make up the nation's [[Critical National Infrastructure|critical national infrastructure]] ([[NCI|CNI]]) and are referred to individually as “infrastructure assets”. Infrastructure [[asset|assets]] may be physical (e.g. sites, installations, pieces of equipment) or logical (e.g. information networks, systems).</big>
 
<br /><br />
 
{{definition|Critical infrastructure means an asset, system or part thereof located in Member States which is essential for the maintenance of vital societal functions, health, safety, security, economic or social well-being of people, and the disruption or destruction of which would have a significant impact in a Member State as a result of the failure to maintain those functions.  <ref> [http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32008L0114&from=EN Council Directive 2008/114/EC of 8 December 2008 on the identification and designation of European critical infrastructures and the assessment of the need to improve their protection.]</ref>}}<br /><br />
