Homeland Security: Critical Infrastructure Protection
Examining the Threat

Concern over attacks on infrastructure targets in the United States began long before September 11, 2001. The National Infrastructure Protection Center was established in the 1990s and has identified infrastructure targets that must be protected and threats to those targets. The events of September 2001 have made protection of these systems and facilities an even greater priority.

The objective of this seminar is to present information on critical infrastructure targets and the threats to them. Threats to information management, utility, transportation, financial, and public health systems are discussed. Speakers representing Government agencies and national organizations responsible for infrastructure protection discuss the role of their agencies and programs developed in response to these threats. Intelligence collection and alert systems designed to prevent infrastructure attacks are also discussed.

As a result of attending this seminar, participants have a better understanding of the threats to infrastructure targets and the role of their agencies in addressing these threats.


Key Results

  • Examine the current threat to infrastructure targets from terrorists, extremists, and other criminals
  • Review case studies of previous attacks and attempted attacks on these targets
  • Discuss the roles of various Federal agencies in the protection of infrastructure targets
  • Gain an understanding of the coordination that is taking place between various agencies and the private sector to protect these targets
  • Learn about future potential threats to infrastructure targets
