The aim of the paper is to show that all cyber networks (such as telecommunication, IT or ICT networks) are systemically identical or very similar, although each of them is applied in another industry or economy field or includes other added functional elements. The effort is to show that systemic identity (similarity) of the mentioned networks identifies the same set of network security threats that can be solved using the same approaches and techniques. The integrative approach based on the systematic approach enables to effectively use the efforts of professionals and all means target to the actual problem solving. The mentioned networks classification to the cyber critical infrastructures is also made based on this concept. Cyber system and cyber networks are threatened by both, the internal system deficits (technical and organisational nature) and the wide range of disasters: natural disasters - impacts primarily on the technical resources; intentional events caused by human vandalism, theft, terrorist attacks; technological accidents; and failure of electricity supply; etc. They threaten individual humans, human groups and states by their technical and organisational deficits and by the IT disuse.
