  • Increased dependence on high-performing technologies in critical infrastructures such as transportation, energy, and telecommunications is a hallmark of modern societies in a technological age. At the same time, many technologies, such as nuclear weapons, nuclear power plants, and large jet aircraft, are highly hazardous, with costly if not catastrophic consequences attending accidents, failure, or, more recently, terrorist assault.
