Critical infrastructure sectors are those whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are deemed so important to nations that their incapacitation or destruction would have a crippling effect on national security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of these. Each country might define their unique critical infrastructure. In this book, we compiled nine critical infrastructure sectors: Emergency Services, Energy, Finance, Food, Government, Health, Telecommunications, Transport, and Water. The continuity of services in these sectors is vital for the daily lives of societies and economies. Most cyberattacks occur in the following types: Insider attacks, social engineering, exploitation malware, extortion, and blackmail. The rising interconnectedness of vital infrastructures via IoT technologies, as well as the rise of coordinated cyberattacks worldwide, is a concerning issue. There are different types of attacks. While some of them are simultaneously IoT-based attacks, some of them are not. Therefore, IoT causes extra vulnerability to systems. Since the IoT is the evolution of Machine-to-Machine communication, and it uses embedded electronics to link everyday things to the Internet, with minimum human effort, these linked items can exchange and gather data. Digital systems can record, monitor, and alter each interaction between linked items in today’s hyper-connected environment. Although IoT is a beneficial breakthrough and has become widespread, it is vulnerable to cyberattacks.
