This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Critical Information
Infrastructures Security, CRITIS 2007, held in Benalmadena-Costa, Spain,
in October 2007 in conjunction with ITCIP 2007, the first conference on
Information Technology for Critical Infrastructure Protection.

The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from a total of 75 submissions. The papers address all
security-related heterogeneous aspects of critical information
infrastructures and are orgaized in topical sections on R&D agenda,
communication risk and assurance, code of practice and metrics,
information sharing and exchange, continuity of services and resiliency,
SCADA and embedded security, threats and attacks modeling, as well as
information exchange and modeling.
