Since the attacks on the WorldT rade Center andthe Pentagon on September 11, 2001, the subject of terrorism has finally receivedthe attention it deserves. In particular, the advancement in information technology, which has markedly increased the interconnectedness and interdependencies of our critical infrastructures, has made them vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Risk of attacks to critical cyber-physical infrastructures andto the organizational-societal infrastructures that enable and sustain democratic societies cannot be addressed on an ad hoc basis. To appreciate the needandimportance of a holistic risk assessment andmana gement process for addressing terrorism, it is constructive to characterize it in three categories, which frequently overlap: (a) risk to critical cyber-physical infrastructures; (b) risk to organizational-societal infrastructures; and(c) risk to human lives andto individual property, liberty, andfr eedom.
