SMART MEDIATION AND REACTION SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING INTERDEPENDENT CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring the functioning of services in a first infrastructure upon which the functioning of critical services of a second infrastructure depends, said method comprising the following steps within a server capable of communicating with both infrastructures:
- upon the detection of a failure of a service of the first infrastructure by a first terminal included within the first infrastructure, receiving an identifier of the faulty service sent from the first terminal,transmitting a request to the first terminal in order to retrieve characteristics settings values of the faulty service,applying correlation rules to the retrieved values to produce information related to the status of the faulty service, andtransmitting a message containing the produced information to a second terminal included within the second infrastructure.

Abstract
To monitor the functioning of the services of a first infrastructure (CI1) upon which the functioning of the critical services of a second infrastructure (CI2) depend, a server (SS) capable of communicating with both infrastructures receives, upon the detection of a failure of a service of the first infrastructure by a first terminal (CT1) included within the first infrastructure, an identifier (SI) for the faulty service sent from the first terminal. The server transmits a request to the first terminal in order to retrieve the characteristics settings values of the faulty service, and apply correlation rules to the retrieved values in order to produce information relevant to the functioning of the faulty service. The server transmits a message (SPM) containing the produced information to a second terminal (CT2) included within the second infrastructure, so that the second infrastructure can react to the failure of a service of the first infrastructure.

8. A server for monitoring the functioning of services of a first infrastructure upon which the function of critical services of a second infrastructure depends, the server being capable of communicating with both infrastructures, said server comprising:
-
means for receiving, upon the detection of a failure of a service of the first infrastructure by a first terminal included within the first infrastructure, an identifier of the faulty service sent from the first terminal, means for transmitting a request to the first terminal in order to retrieve characteristics settings values of the faulty service, means for applying correlation rules to the retrieved values, in order to produce information related to the status of the faulty service, and means for transmitting a message containing the produced information to a second terminal included within the second infrastructure.
