Abstract
The two main outputs of a vulnerability assessment of critical infrastructures (CIs) are the quantification of system vulnerability indicators and the identification of critical elements
Keywords
- Vulnerability Assessment
- Finite State Machine
- Critical Infrastructure
- Probabilistic Risk Assessment
- Signal Flow Graph
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
