Abstract

Increasing interdependencies between critical infrastructures and digitization increase the vulnerability to cyber-attacks and cyber-physical attacks. Incidents have multiple direct and indirect consequences, including cascading effects, and a formal analysis is strongly recommended to understand these effects. This paper shows how threat identification and impact evaluation for interdependent critical infrastructures can be supported by two existing tools. The approach is illustrated with an example based on a running EU project.
