ABSTRACT

The National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) “outlines how government and private sector participants in the critical infrastructure community work together to manage risks and achieve security and resilience outcomes” (DHS, 2014). The NIPP was created in response to directives issued by Presidents George Bush (2003) and Barack Obama (2013). One of the more significant requirements of the NIPP was the definition of sector-specific plans for critical infrastructure protection.
