The review of Critical Infrastructure so far gives a somewhat confusing picture. There is a lack of clarity between Critical Infrastructures and Critical Information Infrastructures in almost all documentation related to Critical Infrastructure. Although the terms are not used specifically in an interchangeable manner, it remains the case that there is a considerable amount of overlap in the use of the terms. However, a common list of what are termed Critical Infrastructures has been arrived at. They are complemented by Critical Information Infrastructure. This Chapter seeks to place Critical Information Infrastructure in its correct context.
