How does the dangerous mix of threats, vulnerabilities, and criminal activity work together to place in jeopardy the reliable operations of our critical infrastructures?
The following categorizations summarize the spectrum of threats, illegal activity, and unavoidable or inadvertent events that could precipitate adverse consequences within and across our infrastructures. There is not only a diverse population of actors who might engage in these activities, there is also an equally broad range of natural or accidental explanations for the disruption of services provided by critical infrastructures. It may not be possible to categorize the threat until the cause or perpetrator is identified — for example, we may not be able to distinguish industrial espionage from intelligence collection.
