Infrastructure Security Month, Week 3: Build Resilience into Critical Infrastructure

The theme for week three of Infrastructure Security Month (ISM) is “Build Resilience into Critical Infrastructure.” This theme serves as a reminder that infrastructure operators should consider threats across the all-hazards threat environment when investing in their facility’s resilience. To maintain U.S. national security, economic prosperity, and public health, it’s crucial for utilities to design and build resilient systems that can continue operations or quickly recover from extreme weather events, terrorist attacks, and other disruptions. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) encourages organizations to consider security needs in their day-to-day business operations to help security and resilience become part of the organization’s culture. CISA has provided multiple free online resources, including the Infrastructure Security Toolkit, which serve as a good starting point for organizations seeking to enhance their security and resilience.
