Definition & Explanation

KRITIS Monitoring is the continuous, systematic observation of critical infrastructure—energy grids, ports, rail hubs, IT systems—to detect anomalies, outages, and security breaches in real or near-real time. Operators, logistics providers, and customs authorities use monitoring platforms to track availability, throughput, and asset condition, with automated alerts triggered when parameters deviate from defined thresholds. Unlike periodic audits or spot checks, monitoring is an ongoing, data-driven process that enables early intervention and protects supply chains from unplanned disruption. Typical metrics include availability rates, transit times, capacity utilization, and security events.
