Although the general public may think of infrastructure as merely roads, bridges, dams, buildings and the Internet, the accurate concept of critical infrastructure encompasses much more. The purpose of this book is to provide the necessary understanding of critical infrastructure security and resilience (CISR) as currently structured within the United States. Since the terrorist attacks of the mid-1990s and September 11, 2001, CISR has evolved to a significant degree, but specific foundations remain on which current efforts are based. This book will cover the evolution and many other elements of CISR, which will result in a critical understanding of CISR…a whole of nation approach to securing critical infrastructure against risk and enhancing resilience in the vent that something bad happens.” -- Adapted from the introduction.
