Critical Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Reader

Identify and protect critical infrastructure from a wide variety of threats

In Critical Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Reader, Ted G. Lewis delivers a clear and compelling discussion of what infrastructure requires protection, how to protect it, and the consequences of failure. Through the book, you'll examine the intersection of cybersecurity, climate change, and sustainability as you reconsider and reexamine the resilience of your infrastructure systems.

The author walks you through how to conduct accurate risk assessments, make sound investment decisions, and justify your actions to senior executives.

• A thorough introduction to the daunting challenges facing infrastructure and the professionals tasked with protecting it

• Comprehensive explorations of the proliferation of cyber threats, terrorism in the global West, climate change, and financial market volatility

• Practical discussions of a variety of infrastructure sectors, including how they work, how they're regulated, and the threats they face

• Clear graphics, narrative guides, and a conversational style that makes the material easily accessible to non-technical readers
