Contribution to Assessments of Impacts on the Critical Infrastructure

Article Preview

Abstract:

Assessing the vulnerability of critical infrastructure objects is of major concern when dealing with the process of dependability and risk management. Special attention is paid to the objects of higher interest, such as nuclear power plants. In spite of the protection of these objects, there is still a certain level of a potential threat. The aim of the paper is to describe a possible way of assessments of the consequences when attacking on an object of critical infrastructure. Several characteristics of the impacts outcomes were obtained. For this reason, as well as for modelling of adversary ́s behaviour impact, fuzzy logic tools have been used.
