Explain how damage from the Hypothetical Threat could impact the Dependencies/Interdependencies between critical infrastructure sectors.

Scenario:

River is enjoying working in the section and asked you to provide some more information on the critical infrastructures you two have been talking about. You already had a good discussion on three more of the critical infrastructures.

Determine the ones from your most recent three discussions that you did not discuss yet. Determine which one of them you will use to discuss a physical attack, which one for a cyber event, and the remaining one for a natural disaster.

River asked you to keep the format the same as last time since it worked really good in explaining various aspects of the critical infrastructures. You determined to use the following outline for each of the three sections (plus the overarching requirements):

Description of a Hypothetical Threat (physical, cyber, or natural disaster)

Brief background on the Critical Infrastructure as it relates to National Security

Elaborate on the known Risks/Threats/Hazards/Vulnerabilities from the Hypothetical Threat

Explain how damage from the Hypothetical Threat could impact the Dependencies/Interdependencies between critical infrastructure sectors.

Existing Resiliency related to Continuity of Operations.

Consider how to Minimize Disruption that improves First Responder Safety.

Select an organization of your choice and research 5 of their most common vulnerabilities, threats, and risks:describe how the organization approached remediation and/or mitigation. Annotate those that were fixed or unable to be fixed.

Identifying and Mitigating Risks

Description

You have been learning about various vulnerabilities and their associated risks this week. Keep in mind that companies are not always able to fix all their discovered vulnerabilities.

Select an organization of your choice and research 5 of their most common vulnerabilities, threats, and risks.

Write a 2 – to 3-page recommendation on the steps the organization should take to remediate or mitigate these vulnerabilities, threats, and risks.

If you found actual examples of an organization’s vulnerabilities, risks, or threats, describe how the organization approached remediation and/or mitigation. Annotate those that were fixed or unable to be fixed.

Include impacts to the organization in terms of people, network, data, or reputation.
