These days, many companies provide services which are vital and strategic for those who run a country. So, any perturbation or destruction to these services would have a serious impact on the essential services delivered to the inhabitants. The Spanish PIC law (Protection of Critical Infrastructure) 8/2011 from April 28th classifies as critical the sectors of Administration, Chemical Industry, Information Technology and Communications (ITC), Energy, Financial and tax systems, Food supplies, Health, Investigative systems, Nuclear Industry, Space, Transport and Water. Thus, the companies that manage infrastructures relating to these sectors play a vital role, since they have the responsibility for protecting them.
