ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces concepts surrounding the reclassification of information and provides some introspective views as to how both industry and government are altering how information is perceived and some of the challenges that have emerged. There is much publicly available information about our infrastructures that describes demographic, financial, and security-related details. Those who are familiar with these environments are often able to locate public information as it pertains to the operation, description, geographic/geospatial mapping data, system, or access information about a specific critical infrastructure or its sectors. This level of accessibility is currently being reviewed by both private and public sectors and represents a continuous process that is undergoing some serious reconsideration in terms of information classification.
