9 How we can help you protect critical infrastructure

10 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 10 DHS Protective Security Coordination Division Everything we do is voluntary Everything we do is free We do everything in partnership with state & local agencies Everything we collect is safeguarded –PCII

11 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 11 What’s Critical Infrastructure? Critical Infrastructure: “Infrastructure so vital that its incapacitation, exploitation, or destruction, through terrorist attack, could have a debilitating effect on security and economic well-being.” Key Resources: “Resources, whose exploitation or destruction by terrorists could cause catastrophic health effects or mass casualties comparable to those from the use of a weapon of mass destruction, or could profoundly affect our national prestige and morale.” (HSPD-7)

12 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 12 Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources Critical Infrastructure : Agriculture and Food Banking and Finance Chemical Critical Manufacturing Defense Industrial Base Water Emergency Services Energy Information Technology Nat’l Monuments & Icons Postal and Shipping Public Health & Healthcare Telecommunications Transportation Systems Key Resources Commercial Facilities Commercial Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste Dams Government Facilities

13 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 13 “Risk” is a function of –Consequences –Vulnerability –& Threat DHS and our state partners: –Identify and prioritize CIKR according to consequences –Perform detailed vulnerability assessments of CIKR –Assess threats How We Assess Risk

14 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 14 On Site Assess consequences –Life, health, & safety –Cascading effects –National security Assess vulnerability Recommend protective measures –Devalue –Deter –Detect –Defend

15 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 15 Push intelligence & best practices to our local partners Conduct intelligence analysis –Regionally at the fusion center –Reach-back to DHS Participate in hazard mitigation planning Provide local context to DHS Coordinate security training and exercises How We Share Information

Educates private sector on suspicious behavior, hazardous materials, precursor chemicals, and other bomb- making information. Bomb-Making Material Awareness Program (BMAP)

18 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 18 Assessing Risk: Automated Critical Asset Management System (ACAMS) Originally developed by LAPD as “Archangel” –Now administered and funded by DHS Conducted by state in partnership with fusion centers and local law enforcement –Not all states & local agencies use this Facilitates emergency planning + response Helps assess consequence + vulnerability

19 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 19 Assessing Risk: Infrastructure Surveys aka “Enhanced Critical Infrastructure Protection” (ECIP) Helps DHS build the national risk picture Provides comparison to similar facilities Based on consistent, objective criteria

20 Vulnerability Dashboard Random Security Measures Physical Security Overall Facility and Sector Protective Measures Index

21 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 21 Assessing Risk: Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP) An infrastructure protection grant program targeted to first responders. Builds terrorism prevention and protection capabilities through planning and equipment acquisition by local law enforcement and first responders. Develops protective measures that make it more difficult for terrorists to conduct surveillance or launch attacks from the immediate vicinity of CIKR.

22 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 22 Assessing Risk: Site Assistance Visits (SAVs) Conducted with federal, state, and local government agencies, and CIKR owners/ operators. Identifies CIKR dependencies, interdependencies, resiliency characteristics, and regional capability gaps. Increases owner/operator awareness of vulnerabilities and provides options for enhancing protective measures. Provides detailed reports to private sector partners used to make security enhancements.
