Abstract :
Current approaches in critical infrastructure protection use long lists of items that fail to give its user a structured answer to the state of protection of its object. The functionality approach uses different terrorist functions to structure the threat (which are to have intent, to scout, to transport, to attack and to have an effect). It uses four different counter terrorist functions (to deter, to detect, to mitigate and to respond) to disturb and counter these terrorist functions.
