Modelling and Assessing the Risk of Cascading Effects with ResilBlockly

Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) is an expanding research area that involves preventing cascading effects within and between Critical Infrastructures (CIs). A cascading effect occurs when one CI affects another, usually negatively, through dependencies between them. In this paper, we present the adoption of a methodology for the analysis of cascading effects in critical infrastructures, its implementation in a MDE tool, ResilBlockly, and its application to the protection of ground segment of space systems in the context of a European project.
