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.
