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:
- Banking and Finance,
- Central Government / Government Services,
- (Tele-)Communication / Information and Communication Technologies (ICT),
- Emergency / Rescue Services,
- Energy / Electricity,
- Health Services,
- Food,
- Transportation / Logistics / Distribution, and
- Water (Supply).
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" [1].

- Gas: (a) Gas production, refining, treatment, storage and transmission by pipelines, (b) LNG terminals
II Transport
- Road transport
- Rail transport
- Air transport
- Inland waterways transport
- Ocean and short-sea shipping and ports

UNISDR presents the following examples of critical infrastructures:
National Definitions
Germany
In Germany, the following sectors (and industries) are assigned to critical infrastructures [4]:
- Transport and traffic (aviation, maritime shipping, inland waterway transport, rail traffic, road traffic, logistics)
- Energy (electricity, mineral oil, gas)
- Information technology and telecommunication (telecommunication, information technology)
- Finance and insurance sector (banks/financial institutes, insurance companies, financial service providers, stock exchanges)
- State and administration (government and administration, parliament, judicial institutions, emergency and rescue services including disaster control)
- Food (food industry, food trade)
- Water (public water supply, public wastewater disposal)
- Health (medical care, pharmaceuticals and vaccines, laboratories)
- Media and culture (broadcasting (television and radio), printed and electronic press, cultural assets, highly symbolic buildings)
Netherlands
Netherlands' national infrastructure is currently (2005 definition) categorised by twelve critical sectors and 31 subsectors [5]:
- energy: electric power, gas, and oil
- telecommunications and IT: fixed and mobile communications, radio, broadcasting, and internet
- drinking water (supply)
- food: food supply, and food safety
- health: emergency and other hospital care, medicines, and vaccines
- financial services: payments (bank retail), and financial transfers by the Administration
- surface water: water quality and water quantity (stemming and managing)
- public order and safety
- legal order/justice: courts and detention, and law enforcement
- public administration: diplomacy, information services by the Administration, defence, and decision-making
- transport: mainport Schiphol, mainport Rotterdam, main road infrastructure, main inland shipping infrastructure, and rail infrastructure
- chemical and nuclear industry: transport, storage, production, and processing of dangerous materials
Each critical sector falls under the responsibility of a designated ministry.
United Kingdom (UK)
UK's national infrastructure is categorised into nine sectors[6]:
- communications
- emergency services
- energy
- financial services
- food
- government
- health
- transport
- water
USA
The 2009 NIPP [7] defines a sector as
Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21): Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience[8] identifies 16 critical infrastructure sectors:
- Chemical Sector
- Commercial Facilities Sector
- Communications Sector
- Critical Manufacturing Sector
- Dams Sector [9]
- Defense Industrial Base Sector
- Emergency Services Sector
- Energy Sector
- Financial Services Sector
- Food and Agriculture Sector
- Government Facilities Sector
- Healthcare and Public Health Sector
- Information Technology Sector
- Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste Sector
- Transportation Systems Sector
- Water and Wastewater Systems Sector
Each sector falls under the responsibility of a designated Sector-Specific Agency (SSA).
