Purpose Engineering knowledge continuity is crucial for the life cycle management of long-lived and complex assets, such as nuclear plants, locks and storm surge barriers. At the storm surge barriers in the Netherlands, engineering knowledge continuity is not yet fully assured, despite...

Purpose Critical infrastructure (CI) sectors and their resilience are vital for societies to function. In many countries, vital societal functions (VSFs) and CIs depend on inter-organizational and international supply chains (SCs) which combine public and private actors with often competing...

Kritische Infrastrukturen – wie diejenigen der Sektoren Wasser, Energie und Ernährung – bilden die Grundlage einer funktionierenden, modernen Gesellschaft. Eine Kompromittierung dieser Infrastrukturen kann zu weitreichenden Störungen und Gefahren für Leib und Leben führen. Der Schutz...

"The economic and financial losses caused by climate-related events such as wildfires, heat waves, and hurricanes can reach hundreds of billions of dollars, threatening the financial health and solvency of the utilities and local governments. In addition, they can significantly hinder the...

The energy system is one of the major sub-sectors of the economy in every society in which both supply with high reliability and compatibility of the energy sector with the environment is a necessity in the process of economic reconstruction and sustainable development. The energy system has...

Die technologische und industrielle Souveränität der EU und ihrer Mitgliedstaaten ist insbesondere durch ausländische Investoren, die auf Technologietransfer und den Erwerb kritischer Infrastrukturen abzielen, gefährdet. In der Konsequenz ist eine industrie- und wirtschaftspolitische...

The financial clout of global sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) is massive, and many of these are controlled by authoritarian regimes. It cannot be ruled out that these funds might take shareholding positions in banks which play key roles in other countries. This paper studies the extent to which...

Vor dem aktuellen Hintergrund der bundesweiten, europäischen und globalen Auswirkungen der Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Virus SARS-CoV-2 untersuchen wir, wie die Betriebe der Holzwirtschaft mit kritischer Infrastruktur in Deutschland (KRITIS) verflochten sind, welche Holzprodukte in...

Die räumliche Planung ist aufgerufen, sich im Rahmen des Schutzes kritischer Infrastrukturen am Umgang mit dem Risiko von Ausfällen als besonders wichtig geltender Infrastrukturleistungen zu beteiligen. In diesem Beitrag werden Hinweise auf Überschneidungen zwischen den Sektoren kritischer...

The article discusses the issues of the critical infrastructure security management from the perspective of entities responsible for its security and development of an integral model of critical infrastructure security, and shows the methodology of situational management of critical...

Considerable work has been done to understand and improve the resilience of individual infrastructure components. However, systems of components, or even systems of systems, are far less well understood. Cascade effects, where the loss of one infrastructure affects others, is a major source of...

Resilience against infrastructure failure is essential for ensuring the health and safety of communities during and following natural hazard situations. Understanding how natural hazards impact society in terms of economic cost, recovery time, and damages to critical infrastructure is essential...

As the world is becoming increasingly digitalized, the role of cybersecurity on society is mounting. Recent cyberattacks have showed the vulnerability of critical infrastructure, including ports. The objective is to describe how cybersecurity is perceived in ports, as preparedness and regulation...

This article presents a synthesis of knowledge about safety management procedures for critical infrastructure (CI) in the context of risk management theory and the provisions of the Polish law on emergency management of 26 April 2007. In this paper, the inadequacy of the accepted procedures at...
