Problem
Critical infrastructure systems are vulnerable to cascade failures, and traditional risk assessments often fail to capture the complex interdependencies that amplify systemic risk. Decision-makers lack quantifiable metrics to understand network fragility and allocate resources effectively to bolster system-wide resilience.
Solution
Criticality Sciences offers a resilience intelligence platform that quantifies network fragility and assesses the risk of cascade failures across complex infrastructure systems. The platform measures resistance to disruptions and recovery metrics, providing a clear baseline resilience score. By identifying critical assets and inherent fragilities, the platform empowers decision-makers to prioritize security enhancements and optimize resource allocation. The platform also offers stress-testing capabilities to evaluate the impact of disruptions and review the effects of proposed network modifications on overall resilience.
Target Audience
The primary users are operators and decision-makers in critical infrastructure sectors such as electrical grids, cyber networks, transportation networks, ports and supply chains, oil and gas pipelines, telecommunication networks, and water and sewer systems, as well as insurance and reinsurance companies.
Features
- Quantifies system resilience by measuring resistance to cascade failures and recovery time.
- Characterizes baseline resilience on a simple scale for single or interdependent systems.
- Prioritizes security enhancements by tracing fragility to specific critical assets.
- Applies diverse stress tests to provide detailed information on the impact of disruptions.
- Assesses the effect of proposed network changes on foundational resilience.
- Game-theoretical optimization for resource placement against likely attacker targets.
- Identifies weaknesses before disruptive events to avoid cascading disruptions.
