This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of security, scrutinizing the vital infrastructures that underpin societies and economies. It assesses the resilience of road, rail, water, health, and electricity networks to deliberate attacks, employing a multidisciplinary approach that combines the expertise of operations research and management, economics, risk analysis, and defense management. Through the application of graph theoretical analysis, advanced statistics, and applied modeling methods, the book offers insightful insights into the vulnerabilities and strengths of these critical systems.

In numerous chapters, the authors provide reproducible code, accessible from the publishers website, enabling readers to further explore the topics discussed. Moreover, the book identifies and examines the implications for risk assessment, policy, and insurability, making its findings universally applicable across diverse locations, countries, and contexts.

Researchers, intelligence analysts, homeland security personnel, and professionals responsible for operating critical infrastructures will find immense value in the methods, models, and conclusions presented in this book. While each of the twelve chapters stands independently, when considered collectively, they form a robust foundation for informed decision-making and enhanced operations, policy, and defense.
