Critical infrastructures are organisations or institutions of major importance to the state community, their failure or impairment would result in long-term supply shortages, significant disruption to public security or other dramatic consequences (BMI, 2009). 

The lecture focuses on different critical infrastructures and their security challenges. After an introduction into some basics, speakers from research institutions, companies, authorities or operators of critical infrastructures are lecturing on specific facets of the topic. A self-study of selected articles complements the lectures. 

In the past years, speakers from the German Bundestag, the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK), the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (BBK), the Hessen Cyber Competence Center (Hessen 3C), Siemens AG, Deutsche Bahn, Deutsche Börse, German Air Traffic Control, as well as from universities and research institutions have given lectures.
