Critical infrastructure systems are complex and highly interdependent. In addition to acts of terrorism, critical infrastructure systems are also vulnerable to criminal activity, accidents and natural disasters. Some of these vulnerabilities and their consequences are increased by the same shortcomings cited by terrorism experts, such as limited surveillance, poor communication, and inadequate physical infrastructure. In many of these cases, improving infrastructure security would also produce safety and disaster response benefits.
The following sectors have been specified as Critical infrastructure by the European Union and the United States: transportation, power, information and communications, emergency services, banking and finance, federal and municiple services, law enforcement agencies, public works, agriculture and food, national monuments and icons.
