Infrastructure Security is a topic of emerging importance in governments around the world, as they begin to realize the vulnerability of complex electricity and water systems to terrorism and contamination.

The most recent example of vulnerable infrastructure was in 2003, when New York City and other Eastern towns experienced a blackout that appears to have originated in the Midwest, and possibly from a tree branch. See related article

A number of government organizations focus on infrastructure security and protection. The Technical Support Working Group has the Infrastructure Protection Subgroup. The UK has the National Infrastructure Security Co-ordination Centre.
