Abstract

The chapter highlights the concept and practical implementation of a new approach to modelling of interdependencies both among assets/vulnerabilities within an infrastructure/SIPS (e.g. interdependency between process and the security), and other critical infrastructures, e.g. other SIPS-plants in the surroundings and/or other surrounding infrastructures (transportation, health, energy supply, etc.). The interdependency modelling has two components: (a) the classical, matrix-based one, enhanced by introducing of the scenario-time component and (b) the indicator-based one. The indicators get their values from three main sources: experts, measurements and big data. The interdependency analysis yields indicators, which, in-turn, provide the possibility to monitor resilience level of a group of infrastructure, e.g. in an industrial zone, a city or a region. The interdependencies are then visualized in a GIS-based system, providing a good basis for resilience managers and other decision-makers. Their decision is further on, supported by a decision-support system, also operating based on resilience indicators.The concept provides also basis for resilience stress-testing, relying on a concept/framework and a procedure currently being standardized.
