The Industrial Antiterrorism was established in 2012 by the union of military and engineering standards.

Industrial Terrorism is terrorism whose sole purpose is to strike at the heart of the business and critical infrastructure of a nation, trying to create the greatest economic damage as possible, and then get a strong impact at national and public opinion internationally. This raises the need to create industry standards so as to provide some protection against terrorist attacks. The feasibility of an attack terrorist is based primarily on sources of financing. In other words, a terrorist attack has a cost. More infrastructure or companies are protected and adopts the standards antiterrorism, then more expensive and more time is necessary to plan an attack to that structure. In this way you can create a time gap that allow the forces of intelligence identify terrorist groups.

To help the critical infrastructure of a nation, and the various industries under threat, to manage and deal with terrorist threats, was born industrial antiterrorism.

The adoption of anti-terrorism standards and procedures to protect critical infrastructure and industrial sectors, it has become mandatory with the entry into force of the European legislation 2008/114/EC in response to the terrorist campaign and the attacks in Madrid and London.
