Protective Security Advisors

• Securing the Nations critical infrastructures
  one community at a time

2
Communities Depend Daily on Reliable Systems
These systems are the invisible critical
infrastructure that our communities depend on
every day, for example

• Telephone systems that allow us to use
  ATMs/credit cards for our financial transactions,
  and real-time communications for business and
  personal use (cellular phones, pagers, e-mail,
  land-lines, and faxes)
• Electricity that allows us to light and heat our
  homes and businesses, and power computers and
  vital communication devices like radio and
  television
• Water systems that provide us with water for
  drinking,
• sanitary needs, irrigation, and firefighting
  capabilities

The Threat

• We will hit hard the American economy at its
  heart and its core.
• - Osama bin Laden

Without doubt, terrorist groups recognize the
economic ramifications of attacks on the Nations
critical infrastructures and key resources.

Dependency on our Critical Infrastructures Key
Resources

• National Security
• Economic Vitality
• Our Way of Life

• Attacks Could

• Disrupt government and private industry
  operations and impact our economy and society
• Result in large-scale human casualties, property
  destruction, and damage to national prestige and
  public confidence

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
Mission

• Prevent terrorist attacks in the United States
• Reduce Americas vulnerability to terrorism
• Minimize the damage from potential attacks
• and natural disasters

DHS Risk-Based Approach

• Risk management is fundamental to managing the
  threat, while retaining our quality of life and
  living in freedom. Risk management must guide our
  decision-making as we examine how we can best
  organize to prevent, respond and recover from an
  attack.
• The most effective way, I believe, to apply
  this risk-based approach is by using the trio of
  threat, vulnerability and consequence as a
  general model for assessing risk and deciding on
  the protective measures we undertake.
• Secretary Michael Chertoff
• U.S.
  Department of Homeland Security

A Focus on Risk

• How do we set our priorities? We cannot
  protect every single person against every single
  threat at every moment and in every place We
  have to be able to focus ourselves on those
  priorities which most demand our attention. We
  have to focus on Risk Consequence
  Vulnerability Threat.
• 
  Secretary Chertoff, July 25, 2005

9
A Focus on Risk

• ... A terrorist attack on the two-lane bridge
  down the street from my house is bad but has a
  relatively low consequence compared to an attack
  on the Golden Gate Bridge. At the other end of
  the spectrum, even a remote threat to detonate a
  nuclear bomb is a high-level priority because of
  the catastrophic effect. Each threat must be
  weighed, therefore, along with consequence and
  vulnerabilities
• Secretary Chertoff, March 16, 2005

10
A Maturing Risk Management Process
As our knowledge, skills, and experience have
matured, our focus has evolved, as we have begun
targeting key areas for attention.

• National Infrastructure
• Protection Plan
• CI/KR within urban areas
• Additional Comprehensive Reviews
• Risk-based UASI grants

Region System

• Nuclear Comprehensive Review
• BZPP
• SAVs
• Chemical facility security regulatory framework

Sector

• Selected chemical sites
• Nuclear Power Plants

FY 2006 Goals

• Goal 1 Identify and catalog critical
  infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR)
• Goal 2 Identify and assess vulnerabilities of
  our nations CI/KR to terrorist attack, including
  consequences of successful attack and
  cross-sector interdependencies
• Goal 3 Utilize a risk assessment framework,
  based on vulnerability, consequence, and threat,
  to prioritize assets and rationalize allocation
  of limited protective resources
• Goal 4 Enhance the protective security of the
  nations CI/KR by facilitating better detection,
  deterrence, and defense against potential
  attacks
• Goal 5 Build a more effective headquarters and
  field organization focused on policy planning and
  program management directed at NIPP
  implementation and SSA responsibilities, with a
  surge capability to respond to emerging threats
  and operational needs.

The Challenge to Protect Critical Infrastructures
Key Resources

• 85 of all critical infrastructures and key
  resources are privately-owned
• Homeland Security must work together with
  industry and state, territorial, local, and
  tribal governments to protect critical
  infrastructures and key resources
• To help communities better protect the Nations
  assets, Homeland Security is placing specialized
  Protective Security Advisors around the country

Summary

• When we have a free path, we go forward.
• If we meet an obstacle, we go around it.
• If the object cannot be overcome, we retreat.
• When the enemy is unprepared, we surprise him.
• If he is alert, we leave him alone.
• Baader-Meinhoff
• Former German urban terrorist organization
