Criticalsites

Criticalsites refers to a collection of publicly available datasets and tools focused on the analysis of critical infrastructure. This initiative aims to provide researchers and practitioners with resources to understand the vulnerabilities, dependencies, and resilience of essential systems such as power grids, transportation networks, and water supply. The datasets often include information on the physical layout, operational characteristics, and interconnections between different components of critical infrastructure.

The project also offers software tools designed for simulation, modeling, and risk assessment. These tools can help in identifying potential failure points, evaluating the impact of disruptions, and developing strategies for mitigation and recovery. The open-source nature of many criticalsites resources encourages collaboration and transparency within the cybersecurity and infrastructure protection communities. By making this data and these tools accessible, criticalsites seeks to advance the scientific understanding of infrastructure security and support the development of more robust and resilient systems. The focus is on enabling data-driven decision-making for policymakers, engineers, and security professionals.
