Critical Infrastructure Owners and Operators

Critical infrastructure owners and operators in the public and private sector develop and implement security and resilience programs for the critical infrastructure under their control, while taking into consideration the public good as well. Owners and operators take action to support risk management planning and investments in security as a necessary component of prudent business planning and operations.

In today’s risk environment, these activities generally include
  • Reassessing and adjusting business continuity and emergency management plans,
  • Building increased resilience and redundancy into business processes and systems,
  • Protecting facilities against physical and cyber-attacks,
  • Reducing the vulnerability to natural disasters,
  • Guarding against insider threats and
  • Increasing coordination with external organizations to avoid or minimize the impact on surrounding communities or other industry partners.
