Common Vulnerabilities of Electronic Perimeter Protection Systems and Possible Methods of Their Defense

Abstract

Both owners and operators of critical infrastructures are facing a rapidly growing challenge of defending themselves and their infocommunication systems from various cyber threats. This article wishes to demonstrate the cyber vulnerabilities of electronic perimeter protection systems and the need for their adequate protection. Shows certain possibilities of using Electronic Protection (EP) with particular emphasis on protection against various SIGINT threats. Underlines the absolute necessity of cyber threat risk-analysis and assessment, while creating and maintaining system-wide confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
