Dependencies of elements recognized as critical infrastructure of the state

Critical infrastructure and the network of its interconnections have a complicated and not fully recognized character. The analysis of the literature on the subject allows to register the fact that individual authors perceive the multidimensionality of the dependence, which means the relationship between elements defined as critical infrastructure. The dependencies cause that elements of critical infrastructure have the so-called "double dimension". On the one hand, they determine the efficiency of the functioning of critical infrastructures, on the other hand they increase their susceptibility to all kinds of disruptions. In practice, this means that any disturbances in the functioning of one of the critical infrastructures negatively affect other dependents.
