Because a security breach could pose substantial risk to the health and welfare of thousands of American citizens, those who work in critical infrastructure industries have a duty and moral obligation to keep their staff, visitors, and tenants safe. The term critical infrastructure security refers to the plans and measures in place to secure your organization and mitigate risk of successful attack on your physical or cyber systems. For nearly every industry, this includes counter-terrorism measures to better protect your building, prepare to respond, and recover quickly.
For some industries like law enforcement and nuclear power plants, critical infrastructure security includes extensive security measures including ballistics barriers, fencing, guard booths, tactical training, and a myriad of other security solutions. All critical infrastructure organizations should evaluate their security and take measures to improve it.Critical Infrastructure Sectors
