Critical infrastructure refers to the essential systems, facilities, and assets whose disruption or destruction would have a significant impact on public safety, national security, or economic stability. These include sectors like energy production and distribution, transportation networks, healthcare services, water supply, telecommunications, and financial services, among others. Given their crucial role, these infrastructures are often the focus of extensive security measures designed to protect them from natural disasters, cyber-attacks, or other forms of sabotage. The concept extends beyond physical structures to include virtual systems and networks, especially as technological advances make critical infrastructure increasingly reliant on digital components. Failure or compromise of critical infrastructure can lead to widespread chaos, economic loss, and even loss of life, making their resilience and security a top priority for governments and organizations. Consequently, the management of critical infrastructure often involves complex coordination between public and private sectors, incorporating advanced technologies and robust contingency plans to mitigate risks.
