Infra-estrutura crítica

A infra-estrutura crítica é o conjunto de sistemas, redes e ativos que são tão essenciais que sua operação contínua é necessária para garantir a segurança de uma determinada nação, sua economia e a saúde e/ou segurança do público.

Embora a infra-estrutura crítica seja similar em todas as nações devido aos requisitos básicos da vida, a infra-estrutura considerada crítica pode variar de acordo com as necessidades, recursos e nível de desenvolvimento de uma nação. Nos Estados Unidos, o Departamento de Segurança Interna (DHS) identifica 16 setores para infra-estrutura crítica:
