Institut für Technikfolgen-Abschätzung (ITA) (Hrsg.), « How vulnerable are critical infrastructures? (ITA dossier no. 33en, March 2018) », Elektronisches Publikationsportal der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschafte, ID : 10670/1.7f1nrg
-> Today, social and economic processes are highly dependent on different technologies and their interaction.-> Critical infrastructures are therefore the "main artery" of the digitally networked society and their functionality is essential for the provision of services of general interest.-> System failures due to external risk factors, errors inherent to the system or unknown weak points can seriously impair the stability of societal processes.-> The creation of effective security measures requires above all a greater awareness of the previously underestimated problem of system dependencies.Authors: Stefan Strauß, Jaro Krieger-Lamina, Walter Peissl
