Instructions
In this unit, you will select the infrastructure that will be the focus of your Unit VII Final Project, and you will begin to plan for a critical infrastructure protection (CIP) assessment in order to create a resiliency plan of that infrastructure.
For the final project due in Unit VII, you will fully analyze the components listed below. In this unit’s assignment, you need only to briefly address each of the concepts below.
Identify a specific critical infrastructure. Examples would be a nuclear plant (e.g., Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station), a utility system (e.g., Duke Energy), or a critical network (e.g., Metro New York 9-1-1 system or Amtrak), to name a few. Determine the sector with which the infrastructure is associated and why CIP efforts are needed.
Note that in the rubric for this assignment, the creativity and thought put into your selection is worth a substantial portion of your grade. You are encouraged to choose a local infrastructure with which you are familiar or have a personal or professional vested interest in to gain the most benefit from this assignment. Choosing an infrastructure with complex factors and a broad public impact will give you greater opportunity to apply knowledge learned in this course. Choosing a smaller or limited infrastructure (e.g., your local shopping mall) is not recommended.
Briefly identify any known or expected threats (natural, technological, and manmade events or disasters) that could impact the selected critical infrastructure and would require specific resiliency plan actions.
Identify at least three resources that can meet the following criteria:
assist in developing a threat assessment for the critical infrastructure, and
identify strategies to implement for safer facilities and networks.
You are encouraged to review the Unit VII Final Project requirements. They may assist you in selecting a suitable infrastructure and allow you to start formulating your plan to prepare for your final project.
Your topic selection must be a minimum of two pages in length. You may present the information as a written paper or outline, as long as you are able to fully express your selection and satisfy the requirements above. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used.
