Critical infrastructure is the physical and digital assets, systems and networks that are vital to national security, the economy, public health, or safety. It can be government- or privately-owned.
According to Etay Maor, Senior Director Security Strategy at Cato Networks, “It’s interesting to note critical infrastructure doesn’t necessarily have to be power plants or electricity. A nation’s monetary system or even a global monetary system can be and should be considered a critical infrastructure as well.”
