Critical Infrastructure
An infrastructure so vital that its incapacity or destruction would have a debilitating impact on our defense and national security
Identification of Sectors within “Critical Infrastructure Protection”
A network of independent, mostly privately-owned, man-made systems that function collaboratively and synergistically to produce and distribute a continuous flow of essential goods and services
Reducing the risk to critical infrastructure by physical means or defensive cyber measures to intrusions, attacks, or the effects of natural or manmade disasters
“Security” defined by PPD-21
_______ and _______ activities contribute to strengthening critical infrastructure security
Prevention and protection
Securing critical infrastructure include addressing ______ & ______ and sharing ________ _________ & _______ on current and future risks
Threats / vulnerabilities
Accurate information / analysis
Resilience
The ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions
Resilience includes the ability to withstand and ______ from deliberate _______, _______, or ________ occurring incidents or _________.
Recover
Attacks / accidents / naturally
Threats
What 2 things are essential to achieving resilience?
Accurate information
Analysis about risks
Resilient infrastructure assets, systems, and networks must be ______, _______, and ________.
Robust
Agile
Adaptable
What 3 activities contribute to strengthening critical infrastructure resilience?
Mitigation
Response
Recovery
_______ and _______ are strengthened through risk management.
Security and resilience
The 5 principles in securing critical infrastructure.
It takes a network to fight a network
Secure the hubs, not the spokes
Spend 80% on 20% of the country
Think Dual Purpose
Think Asymmetric
Nodes of rail, air, and ship?
Station, terminal, port
Links of rail, air, and ship?

The primary emphasis is on security, but we also adopt the more nuanced view that attention needs to be directed to all ______ and all ______.
Hazards and risks
As the transport sector requires more attention to make itself secure, the implicit cost of ________ goes _____, and the ability to make ________ may be ________.
Transportation / up
Markets / diminished
What are 3 examples that safety/ security is a cost of transport?
Loss of operational authority
Loss of public confidence, possibly leading to business failure
Higher insurance premiums

Hierarchy
Differentiates between center sizes, regional dominance, and inter-city relationships
