Critical Infrastructure Vulnerability and Protection: An Introduction

Assignment Overview

You will be referring to the required readings, videos, and websites to address the assignments. Additionally, you can also research other professional sources available on the internet.

Case Assignment

1. From the NIPP of 2013, what is meant by Partnership Structure? Give an example.
2. Choose one of the 16 Critical Infrastructure Sectors and comment on its Sector Specific Plan. What other sectors is it closely linked to? Why? How?
3. Explain SCADA. Why is SCADA a popular target for terrorists? Explain and use quotations to support your statements.

Assignment Expectations

Length: This assignment should be at least 3 pages, double spaced, not counting the cover page and

.Originality of Content: Quoted material should not exceed 10% of the total paper (since the focus of these assignments is critical thinking). Direct quotes are rarely necessary; students who use them when unnecessary will forfeit credit for critical thinking. For verbatim/direct quotes, enclose the quoted text in quotation marks and then cite the author, date, and location within the source (i.e., page number, paragraph number, or time stamp). For paraphrased ideas, you must give credit to the original author in an in-text citation.

Case Overview

NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK (NRF)

Implementation of National Response Framework Mission Area

This Implementation effort is consistent with Presidential Policy Directive (PPD)-8. Core capabilities are the distinct elements needed to achieve the National Preparedness Goal (NPG) (See Overview of the National planning Frameworks).

Response mission area includes 15 core capabilities as follows:

1. Planning
2. Public Information and Warning
3. Operational Coordination
4. Infrastructure Systems
5. Critical Transportation
6. Environmental Response/Health and Safety
7. Fatality Management Services
8. Fire Management and Suppression
9. Logistics and Supply Chain Management
10. Mass Care Services
11. Mass Search and Rescue Operations
12. On-Scene Security, Protection, and Law Enforcement
13. Operational Communications
14. Public Health, Healthcare, and Emergency Medical Services
15. Situational Assessment

Case Assignment

NRF

• Rank order (in order of priority) the 14 core capabilities of the NRF. From your first top three choices only, explain why you rank ordered them as such. Be specific.
• Explain how the United States conducts an all-hazards response in the five preparedness mission areas of prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and disaster recovery.

NIMS

• When would a Deputy Incident Commander (Deputy IC) be necessary? Give examples.
• In The missing piece of NIMS: Teaching incident commanders how to function in the edge of Chaos, the author notes that first responders have to deal with a disaster situation already unfolding, and not all the pieces fit together nicely. The author writes about the Five Tenets of Working in Chaos. Please paraphrase each one using your own words.

DHS Law and Policy

• Go to the website , choose one law or policy and briefly comment on it. Be specific.

Assignment Expectations

Length: This assignment should be 3-5 pages, not counting the cover page and references.

Source Citations in the Body of the Paper: Cite sources in the body of the paper to provide supporting evidence for main points and definitive statements; to identify where you found your information; and to give credit to those whose ideas you are using.

References: Use reliable, authoritative, and credible sources as your references, such as, professional and established periodicals; peer-reviewed journal articles are preferred. If you use the internet to find articles, make sure the sources are credible. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source.

The aim is to analyze each Splunk vulnerability (on the file) classified as critical and to understand, through the use of case studies and other information shared online, how these vulnerabilities can be effectively mitigated. The focus is on identifying mitigation strategies that have been successfully applied in similar infrastructure environments and assessing their applicability in comparable contexts, and ultimately produce a comprehensive report consolidating the analysis, findings, and most important with the recommended mitigation strategies.
