INTRODUCTION
The
protec3on
of
cri3cal
infrastructure
has
been
linked
to
cyber
security
for
the
past
25
years,
during
which
3me
many
advanced
industrialised
states
have
priva3sed
cri3cal
infrastructure
systems
such
as
water
and
sewerage,
electricity,
finance,
communica3ons
and
transport.
Where
cri3cal
infrastructural
has
been
largely
priva3sed,
policies
invariably
rely
on
PPPs
as
the
frontline
through
which
to
mi3gate
the
threat.
Ø In
the
US
and
UK,
PPPs
are
referred
to
as
the
“cornerstone”
of
na3onal
cyber-‐
security
strategies.
Ø Currently
about
85
per
cent
of
US
cri3cal
infrastructure
is
in
private
hands.
