“…A particular difficulty is that there is no way to fully understand the interdependencies between the various Critical Infrastructures [54]. Moreover, there is no single understanding of how the elements of Critical Infrastructure functionally affect one another [55]. Consequently, this fundamentally impacts on our ability to protect Critical Infrastructure systems, since one of the key aims is to determine and manage these elements during an attack.…”

“…This is as a direct result of the close interconnectivity of the infrastructures with each other and the many facets of life which depend on them [25]. As Schlapfer et al, discuss, certain infrastructures are highly interconnected and, in result, are linked through busy communication channels [26].…”

“…A failure in an infrastructure can also affect other infrastructures, resulting in cascading failures [3]. Failure within a single CI is damaging enough, but a broader multi-sector failure may be catastrophic [4] and could affect practically all aspects of society in multiple countries [5]. The attacks that describe the threat profile of a critical infrastructure are of two types.…”

In modern societies, the rampant growth of the Internet, both on the technological and social level, has created fertile ground for the emergence of new types of risk. On top of that, it enhances pre-existing threats by offering new means for accessing and exploiting Critical Infrastructures. As the kinds of potential threats evolve, the security, safety and resilience of these infrastructures must be updated accordingly, both at a prevention, as well as a real-time confrontation level. Our research approaches the security of these infrastructures with a focus on the data and utilization of every possible piece of information that derives from this ecosystem. Such a task is quite daunting, since the quantity of data that requires processing resides in the Big Dataspace. To address this, we introduce a new well-defined Information Life Cycle in order to properly model and optimise the way information flows through a modern security system. This life cycle covers all the possible stages, starting from the collection phase up until the exploitation of information intelligence. That ensures the efficiency of data processing and filtering while increasing both the veracity and validity of the final outcome. In addition, an agile Framework is introduced that is optimised to take full advantage of the Information Life Cycle. As a result, it exploits the generated knowledge taking the correct sequence of actions that will successfully address possible threats. This Framework leverages every possible data source that could provide vital information to Critical Infrastructures by performing analysis and data fusion being able to cope with data variety and variability. At the same time, it orchestrates the pre-existing processes and resources of these infrastructures. Through rigorous testing, it was found that response time against hazards was dramatically decreased. As a result, this Framework is an ideal candidate for strengthening and shielding the infrastructures’ resilience while improving management of the resources used.
