Abstract
Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) is a challenging operation for all involved organisations: Authorities, critical infrastructure providers and even policy makers. Integrated risk management is required to keep risks as low as possible and well-developed crisis management helps to mitigate the effects of events that have occurred. Achieving the right balance is difficult especially for anthropogenic threats such as terrorist threats, which are difficult to assess with normative risk management approaches. In May 2015, the TH Köln executed two exercises to address risk and crisis management in case of terrorist threats. The exercises were embedded in the research project RiKoV, which was being funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education.
