Benchmarks for critical infrastructure systems modelling

This paper draws together previous security assessment research and builds upon the current systems modelling research investigation into the application of potential modelling styles that can be applied to model critical infrastructure systems, networks, their inter-relationships and functionality. The emphasis here is to develop appropriate benchmarks as a means of assessment to determine the appropriateness of various systems modelling styles and techniques and their suitability for modelling critical infrastructure systems. The benchmarks are applicable on a number of differing levels to determine the ‘best fit’ for modelling critical infrastructure systems, to aid in identifying potential system or inter-network vulnerabilities.<br />
