Integrated Crisis Management for CRITIS

The Interdependence Analysis Approach

A comprehensive risk provision for Critical Infrastructures (CRITIS) should include an overall systemic analysis of interdependencies in order to adequately consider potential cascade effects and the risk of resulting (multiple) system failure. So far, protection concepts, risk analyses and risk management plans have mainly focused on individual systems. With the "interdependence analysis", a ready-to-use methodology was developed for the collaborative evaluation of those dependencies that clarify the associated hazards.
