On July 2, 2025, the ATLANTIS project hosted a successful webinar titled “ATLANTIS approach to CI dependencies modelling and risk assessment”. The event drew significant interest, with 33 participants attending the live session.
The presentation was led by Dr. Marko Gerbec from the Jožef Stefan Institute, who provided a comprehensive overview of the project’s innovative methodology. The session focused on providing a structured approach to understanding and evaluating risks in complex, interconnected Critical Infrastructure (CI) environments.
Key topics covered in the presentation include:
- The core principles and importance of Critical Infrastructure (CI) interdependency modeling.
- The detailed ATLANTIS 6-step methodology for risk assessment, which includes Scenario Definition, Asset Identification, Interdependency Analysis, Threat Analysis, Impact Analysis, and Risk Score Calculation.
- Practical guidance on compiling asset and dependency data using tools like MS Excel.
- An overview of seven distinct threat categories used in the analysis, ranging from NaTech events to cyber and physical attacks.
- A semi-quantitative method for scoring impacts across seven categories, including People Exposed, Economic Impact, Service Interruption, and Environmental Impact.
For those who missed the live session or wish to review the materials, the complete presentation is now available for download.
