Module / Seminar / Course Description :
Critical Infrastructure ( s ) are the enablers of the spectrum of American life . Assuring their protection , security , operational resilience , and all condition preparedness , are the most fundamental of National and Homeland Security imperatives and vital to ensuring its citizens ’ safety , security , quality of life and future .
While America ’ s critical infrastructures are its enablers , their degradation or loss , regardless of cause , also increasingly make them America ’ s disablers . Beyond the ravages wrought by their age , use , weather , technological and human failure , America ’ s Critical Infrastructures are increasingly viewed as legitimate targets by an ever-growing array of global actors ranging from opportunists , criminals , hackers and hacktivists , to terrorists and Nation States . These actors are well aware American behaviors and the reality that the critical infrastructures ensuring their safety , security , quality of life and future serving them are increasingly reliant on a Global Internet the United States may have created but no longer controls . Predator ’ s recognize America ’ s increasing reliance on the Internet creates a low risk / high-payoff “ vector ,” — a great equalizer — and in effect a quickly emerging single point of national failure , potentially capable of inflicting upon the Nation casualties , human suffering , property , economic and social consequences of unprecedented scope , intensity and duration . This situation is worsening by the millisecond and is avoidable thus making it unequivocally irresponsible and unacceptable .
Accordingly , through lecture and collaborative discussions and table-top exercise ( s ), this module will address critical infrastructure topics and provide students an appreciation of the mindsets , metrics , methodologies and technologies whose implementation are essential to effectively and efficiently address the rapidly morphing and growing threats to their life ’ s enablers .
