The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) defines critical infrastructure as specific assets which if destroyed or seriously disrupted would cause major disruption to the service being provided.
These assets form crucial components of our water, energy, waste and transport systems. ICE also acknowledges that the communications network is vital to the functionality of critical infrastructure, but recognises that this falls outside of the Institution's main area of expertise. For the purposes of this report, the goal of defending critical infrastructure will be assuring the continuation of our way of life and of the nation itself.
