全球关键基础设施保护市场-增长,趋势和预测(2020-2025年)
Critical infrastructure plays an active and dynamic part in supporting the seamless progression and assimilation of modern society. The performance, safety, reliability, continuous operation, maintenance, and protection of critical infrastructure are among the national priorities for countries around the world. Critical infrastructure (CI) offers essential services that underpin society and serve as the backbone of any nation's economy, health, and security. The power used in homes and industries, potable water, transportation, and communication systems is a part of critical infrastructure. The critical infrastructure sectors comprise assets, networks, and systems, whether physical or virtual. The physical protection of critical infrastructure can prevent the commission of high-impact terrorist attacks and avoid the cascading effects that are frequently associated with such attacks. INTERPOL has observed an increase of 200%, in the number of profiles of foreign terrorist fighters, between January 2017 and April 2018. Further, defense bases and facilities are widely supported by a variety of critical infrastructure and operational technology right from power generation and utilities to building automation and safety systems. Destruction or incapacitation of these bases can have a debilitating effect on the national economic security, safety, or any combination thereof such as loss of power, exposure of confidential information, interruptions to operations, and threats to the safety of personnel.
