Rationale

Ensuring the resilience of Critical Infrastructures (CIs), particularly in the transport sector, has become increasingly vital. Today, there is a strong emphasis on securing information systems and effectively managing risks that could disrupt these essential services. Moreover, CIs are becoming progressively more interdependent across sectors; for example, energy is essential for telecommunications, which in turn supports logistics and transport operations. This growing interconnectedness increases systemic complexity and makes CIs more vulnerable to sophisticated cyber-physical attacks. As a result, understanding and modelling dependencies both across different sectors and domains, and within operators of the same CI, is not only required by regulations, but also crucial for improving preparedness, risk management, and coordinated incident response.

Objective

 The primary objective of the ecosystem modelling module is to analyse an ecosystem surrounding a CI as a whole and to provide the foundations for simulating potential impacts on the resilience of a supply chain composed of multiple entities (both internal and external to the CI) by propagating risk consequences across dependencies (domino effect).
