Anticipating risks and potential threats to critical assets takes a "Red Team" mentality. Communities and companies need to be training, planning and adapting to all hazards.
Whether they be the structural failure of a bridge, ransomware of major municipalities or the next major attack on our U.S. Homeland.
Critical infrastructure is physical and cyber-based systems, that are essential to the minimum operations of the economy and our government.
This means that many states are in a continuous review of their own critical infrastructure. When the analysis is done and the finger pointing is over, we will have one more example of why the public private partnership is essential for the future of government and business.
Organizations such as WashingtonDCFIRST, ChicagoFIRST and others around the U.S. are working on putting more emphasis on critical infrastructure resiliency.
InfraGard in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York Metro, Chicago, the Nations Capital or any of the other 70+ major metro areas, is just another example of how private business is interacting with government in the context of cooperation, coordination and connecting tens of thousands of subject matter experts.
The people who can make a difference long before an incident, or minutes after one occurs, can be found in each of these local chapters. How the local community takes advantage of these resources is up to government leadership. Since over 85% is owned and operated by the Private Sector.

"The ability to anticipate an opponent’s intent is critical to many forms of planning, analysis, design, and operations. While this need is recognized in the military and intelligence communities, infrastructure providers and first responders find themselves on the front line facing a range of potential threats, that in many cases exceed the defenders direct experience."Having this "Red Team" mentality can save lives and dollars, through continuous exercises and a business resilience approach to discovering and eradicating new found vulnerabilities...
