Abstract

The emerging Grid Computing Technologies are enabling the conception of heavily ICT-based critical infrastructures (CIs). The nature, volume and sensitivity of information that may be exchanged across the computing resources will be expanded substantially. As a result of increasing processing power, data storage capacity and interconnectivity, these Grid-based CIs will be exposed to a much larger number and a wider variety of threats and vulnerabilities. This raises new security issues for the CIs. In this paper, we have discussed the new paradigm of Grid-based CIs; the inevitability of their adoption in the near future; the risks associated with them; and a global framework to tackle the security related issues to gain the confidence of an already skeptical public.
