External Threats

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 1 in both your primary and secondary required textbooks and read the webpage on the sixteen critical infrastructure sectors provided by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Choose three critical infrastructure sectors from the DHS Critical Infrastructure Sectors webpage.

Discuss how loss of access to these sectors would impact your way of life. Then, explain the concepts of risk assessment and risk analysis to these sectors.

Indicate ways to manage the risks of these critical infrastructure sectors to avoid loss and protect them from threats.
