Protective Security Advisors

The Department of Homeland Security works closely with critical infrastructure partners at the State, local, and regional levels through the Office of Infrastructure Protection's Protective Security Advisor (PSA) program.

PSAs work with private-sector partners and State and local governments to reduce risk to the Nation’s critical infrastructure by:

  • Promoting relevant training programs.
  • Coordinating vulnerability assessments.
  • Assisting with critical infrastructure coordination during incident management.
  • Facilitating information sharing among all levels of government and the private sector.
PSAs ensure that critical infrastructure protection programs and services are delivered to State, local, territorial, and tribal stakeholders and critical infrastructure owners and operators.
