Securing Our Critical Infrastructures
- Abstract
- As technology advances, so do the vulnerabilities and security threats to our critical infrastructures. We must constantly re-evaluate the critical infrastructure sectors to better prepare ourselves for whatever challenge is thrown at us, be it natural or man-made. Strong consideration of the infrastructure interdependencies and the effects of loosing one or more in an attack is essential to prepare a contingency plan that will allow for the preservation of our critical assets. In the event of a successful attack, limiting the amount of damage and quickly redistributing the assets to maintain a minimum essential infrastructure is critical in keeping the defense and national economy functioning. Continuity is the key to success.
