This document discusses Sim-CI, a company that enables integrated critical infrastructure management through a software-as-a-service platform. The platform provides insights into network interdependencies to optimize operations, decrease costs, and design resilient infrastructure. Sim-CI also develops virtual and augmented reality applications, a test environment called "The Island of Pampus", and mobile products. Additionally, Sim-CI founded the modeling lab ERICA to conduct scientific research on analyzing and modeling interdependent critical infrastructures with industry partners. The goal is to provide tools and methods to assess resilience, identify vulnerabilities, and support risk mitigation decisions for critical infrastructure organizations.

PLEASE ENABLE DESKTOP VIEW FOR BEST VIEW, THANK YOU

2. 2. How
Solution = Deliver insights in network interdependencies
3. What
SIM-CI enables Integrated Critical Infrastructure
Management (SaaS in the cloud in secured IT Zone)
How? Why?What?
1. WHY
Problem: No insights in Critical Infrastructure
interdependencies (CI’s)
+ increasingly dynamic environment
• Climate chance/ extreme weather
• Urbanization/ increased population
• Hyper connected smart grids/ cyber crime
Higher complexity = more black swans = more cascading damage

no need for real data
Pampus is developed for:
• Demonstration purposes
• Validation of interdependency models
• Verification of networks and
interdependencies
Status Quo:
• The island has a gas, water and electricity network.
• 2016 implementation telecom and cyber
