Transportation Infrastructures

America’s transportation systems are predicated on economic, social, and political stability. After the epiphany of September 11, and subsequent national alerts, however, all sectors of transportation, not just in the USA, but around the world have become keenly aware of the vulnerabilities inherent in such systems; and of the cascading consequences that can arise from attacks at critical nodes in any one or more of the transportation sectors. Critical infrastructure protection can be enhanced significantly through better and more routine use of intelligence extracted from real time, time sequential, and archival images obtained by aerial and satellite sensors. Since we cannot, and probably never would, re-engineer current transportation infrastructures to harden them against random attacks, planners can use image-derived intelligence to redesign their information and decision support systems to detect, prepare, prevent, protect, and respond to incidents. In many instances technology already exists to begin these redesigns, but before 9/11 there was little incentive to invest in the effort. Measures that were once difficult to justify as protection against acts of nature are now justifiable as protection against deliberate acts of aggression. These measures, once learned and implemented, will be applicable to both natural and deliberate incidents.

The World

In today's world, critical infrastructure encompasses facilities vital to the economy, politics, and population. Their maintenance and safe operation can ensure the supply for the population. These facilities are at risk due to climate change, natural disasters, terror attacks, or wars which are increasingly affecting countries around the world. In addition, the human factor can also cause uncertainty and damages. The function of the world depends on human activities. In this chapter the uncertainties in safety and security are introduced. Security is the most important part as it is the critical infrastructure protection and human safety . The important pillars of safety and security and these uncertainties are introduced in this chapter.

The article examines diversification as a system of administrative and legal management in the intersectoral provision of digitalization in Ukraine, which expands the semantic relationship between law and economics in the modern quantum-electronic world. Diversification is shown as a legal policy of the world order, which is due to a planned and creative relationship to protect the legal needs and interests of the individual, the state and society. This paper analyzes the prospects of diversification as a digital codification system of administrative and legal management in the inter-infrastructure of information capital. This article is devoted to highlighting the diversification mechanism for the implementation of current legislation in the field of critical infrastructure protection.

According to the large number of cyber incidents that occur every day, the process of critical infrastructure protection is an important not only technical but also scientific task. However, not all states in the world have an opportunity to provide high-quality protection of such infrastructure at a high level. Based on the fact that the critical information infrastructure protection should be managed at the state level, states need to develop a regulatory framework to address the above issue. Considering the legal framework of Ukraine, as in most post-Soviet countries, there is no effective approach to the protection of critical information infrastructure, such as in the USA or in the EU. The legislation of Ukraine identifies only certain objects of the socio-economic sphere, emergencies where they can lead to socially dangerous consequences, while a single procedure for identification and classification of critical infrastructure is not developed. A number of basic terms in the field of critical infrastructure protection from cyber threats, including “critical infrastructure” term, remain normatively vague. The mechanism of organization of activity and interaction of state and private structures in the process of critical infrastructure protection needs scientific substantiation. In this paper, the analysis of the world’s best practices concerning critical information infrastructure protection was carried out, that allows to improve qualitatively, at the state legislative level and practice, process of critical information infrastructure protection of Ukraine.

National Infrastructure

The content outline: in accordance with law, the Polish critical infrastructure constitutes 11 sectors, vital for national security and public safety persistence. Two of the sectors (energy sector and transportation systems sector), are elements of the European Critical Infrastructure, and due to Poland’s EU and NATO membership, are subject to particular protection. The paper describes general principles of Polish critical infrastructure safety law acts and critical infrastructure sectors. Later in this paper, 4 alert states (THREATCON), and their impact on the critical infrastructure safety and protection were presented. The purpose and the program content of the National Critical Infrastructure Protection Programme and the National Infrastructure Protection Plan were described.
