Thanks for your post, you did well to note that: One of the main problems that are associated with the creation of the unique infrastructure is that there is no motivation to protect these critical infrastructures. That goes to show that there are chemical plants, rail lines, weaponry peripherals among others. These infrastructures need to be protected so that there are no people like a terrorist to use them in a bad way. 

Now, further consider that in a network environment, an additional layer of protection is possible when leaving the local level as one begins to look at state/provincial, regional, or even national levels. Depending on the nature of the service being provided, the networked environment allows for an application of robustness, resilience, and redundancy to be designed. When one infrastructure suffers a negative impact, the loss of its performance in one area is offset by the remaining elements within the network by either increasing or reallocating their own contributions so as to either reach the desired level of overall performance or, in more extreme cases, reduce the amount of impact associated with the disruption. Your thoughts?
