Introduction “The September 11, 2001, attacks demonstrated the extent of our vulnerabilities to the terrorist threat. In the aftermath of these tragic events, we, as a Nation, have demonstrated firm resolve in protecting our critical infrastructures and key assets from further terrorist exploitation.
In this
effort, government at all levels, the private sector and concerned citizens across the country have begun an important partnership and commitment to action.” - President George W. Bush, “The National Strategy for the Physical Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Key Assets,” February 2003
The ASIS International Critical Infrastructure Working Group (CIWG) initially convened at the ASIS Annual Seminar and Exhibits in San Diego, CA in September 2006. As the CIWG structure and purpose evolved, it was determined that this particular working body could provide a specialized resource to ASIS members who serve the nation’s 13 critical infrastructures and four key assets as defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Moreover, it was envisioned that the CIWG would be a viable link to both private and public sector entities associated with issues relevant to critical infrastructure protection, disaster resilience, and continuity of operations. The organizational structure of the CIWG is representative of all 17 critical infrastructures and key assets. Members are ASIS volunteers who are generally nominated to serve this working group from the existing Councils. As such, the CIWG is a common mechanism for inter council cooperation in protecting the vital interests of our nation through information sharing, educational programs, and resources. This guide represents a work product that can be used as a current resource document for the critical infrastructures and key assets. It is not intended to supplant or supersede existing publications, resources, or documents that have been promulgated by government agencies or industry associations. Rather, it is a useful compendium of information that can be easily accessed and utilized in the critical infrastructure protection arena. This effort could not have been realized without the dedication and commitment of the CIWG volunteers and ASIS staff who worked tirelessly in producing this resource for the infrastructure communities and the Society at large. Our gratitude is extended to all who have been involved in supporting this project. We welcome your comments, suggestions and recommendations regarding this document and how we can best serve you.

Agriculture and Food Sector
1.0 Agriculture and Food Sector 1.1 Sector Overview The Agriculture and Food Sector has the capacity to feed and clothe people well beyond the boundaries of the Nation. The sector is almost entirely under private ownership and is composed of an estimated 2.1 million farms, and approximately 880,587 firms and 1,086,793 facilities. This sector accounts for roughly one-fifth of the Nation’s economic activity and is overseen at the Federal level by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The USDA is a multifaceted department that directly impacts the lives of all U.S. citizens. One of its key roles is to ensure that the Nation’s food and fiber needs are met. USDA is also the steward of our Nation’s 192 million acres of national forests and rangelands, and it is the country’s largest conservation agency, encouraging voluntary efforts to protect soil, water, and wildlife on the 70 percent of America’s lands that are in private hands. The FDA is responsible for the safety of 80 percent of all of the food consumed in the United States. While the FDA’s mission is to protect and promote public health, that responsibility is shared with: Federal, State, and local agencies; regulated industry; academia; health providers; and consumers. FDA regulates $240 billion of domestic food and $15 billion of imported food. In addition, roughly 600,000 restaurants and institutional food service providers, an estimated 235,000 grocery stores, and other food outlets are regulated by State and local authorities that receive guidance and other technical assistance from FDA. The Agriculture and Food Sector is dependent upon the Drinking Water and Wastewater Treatment Systems Sector for clean irrigation and processed water; the Transportation Systems Sector for movement of products; the Energy Sector to power the equipment needed for agriculture production and food processing; and the Banking and Finance, Chemical, Dams and other sectors as well. *

Banking and Finance Sector
2.0 Banking and Finance Sector 2.1 Sector Overview The Banking and Finance Sector, the backbone of the world economy, is a large and diverse sector primarily owned and operated by private entities. In 2005, the sector accounted for more than 8.1 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. Financial services firms provide a broad array of financial products for their customers. These products: (1) allow customers to deposit funds and make payments to other parties, (2) provide credit and liquidity to customers, (3) allow customers to invest funds for both long and short periods, and (4) transfer financial risks among customers. The financial institutions that provide these services are all somewhat different, each within a specific part or parts of the financial services marketplace. Financial institutions operate to provide customers the financial products that they want, ensure the institution’s financial integrity, protect customers’ assets, and guarantee the integrity of the financial system. As such, financial institutions and financial markets that they organize manage a wide variety of financial and certain non-financial risks. In addition to the actions of financial institutions, direct financial regulation applies to many, but not all, financial services providers. The U.S. system of financial regulation is complex and exists at both the Federal and State levels. The regulatory systems for financial services firms manage and regulate various forms of risk and guard against prohibited practices. *

4.0 Commercial Facilities Sector 4.1 Sector Overview Facilities associated with the Commercial Facilities Sector operate on the principle of open public access, meaning that the general public can move freely throughout these facilities without the deterrent of highly visible security barriers. The majority of the facilities in this sector are owned and operated by the private sector, with minimal interaction with the Federal Government and other regulatory entities. For the most part, commercial facility owners and operators must be responsible for assessing and mitigating their specific facility vulnerabilities and practicing prudent risk management and mitigation measures. The Commercial Facilities Sector consists of the following eight subsectors: 1. Public Assembly (e.g., arenas, stadiums, aquariums, zoos, convention centers); 2. Sports Leagues (e.g., professional sports leagues and federations); 3. Resorts (e.g., casinos); 4. Lodging (e.g., hotels, motels, conference centers); 5. Outdoor events (e.g., theme and amusement parks, fairs, campgrounds, parades); 6. Entertainment and Media (e.g., motion picture studios, broadcast media); 7. Real Estate (e.g., office and apartment buildings, condominiums, self-storage); and 8. Retail (e.g., retail centers and districts, shopping malls). *

5.0 Dams Sector 5.1 Sector Overview The Dams Sector encompasses major infrastructure assets that harness the water resources of the Nation and enable water management, balancing droughts and floods throughout the U.S. These dams, locks, pumping plants, canals, and levees provide water supply, power generation, navigable waterways, flood protection, and unique environmental stability and enhancement to habitats across the country. Ten percent of American cropland is irrigated using water stored behind dams. Hydropower facilities generate more than 60 percent of the electricity used along the Pacific coast. More than 12,000 miles of navigable waterways in the U.S. provide routes for transportation of mass quantities of commodities within the country and more than $70 billion worth of cargo is shipped along the waterways annually. There are approximately 78,000 dams included in the National Inventory of Dams, and almost 60 percent of them are privately owned. The Dams Sector has interdependencies with a wide range of other sectors, including: The Agriculture and Food Sector as a continued source of water for irrigation and water management The Transportation Systems Sector uses dams and locks to manage navigable waters throughout inland waterways The Drinking Water and Water Treatment Systems Sector by supplying potable water to concentrated populations and commercial facilities in the U.S. The Energy Sector by providing approximately 8 to 12 percent of the Nation’s power needs with hydropower dams The Emergency Services Sector relies on Dams Sector assets for firefighting water supply, emergency water supply, and waterborne access in the event of a significant disaster *

Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), National Dam Safety Program – Although the Federal Government owns or regulates only about 5 percent of the dams in the United States, many of these dams are significant in terms of size, function, benefit to the public, and hazard potential. Since the implementation of the Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety in 1979, the federal agencies have done an exemplary job in ensuring the safety of dams within their jurisdiction. They accomplish this by sharing resources whenever and wherever possible to achieve results and improvements in dam safety. Many of the federal agencies also maintain very comprehensive research and development programs and training programs, and have now incorporated security considerations and requirements into these programs to protect their dams against terrorist threats.

Energy Sector
9.0 Energy Sector 9.1 Sector Overview The U.S. energy infrastructure fuels the economy of the 21st century. Without a stable energy supply, health and welfare is threatened and the U.S. economy cannot function. More than 80 percent of the country’s energy infrastructure is owned by the private sector. The energy infrastructure is divided into three inter-related segments: electricity, petroleum, and natural gas. The U.S. electricity segment contains 5,000 power plants with approximately 905 gigawatts of generating capacity. Approximately 50 percent of electricity is produced by combusting coal (primarily transported by rail), 20 percent in nuclear power plants, and 18 percent by combusting natural gas. The remaining generation is provided by hydroelectric plants (7 percent), oil (2 percent), and by renewable (solar, wind, and geothermal) and other sources (3 percent). Electricity generated at power plants is transmitted over 158,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines. Voltage is stepped down at more than 63,000 substations before being distributed to 131 million customers over millions of miles of lower voltage distribution lines. The electricity infrastructure is highly automated and controlled by utilities and regional grid operators using sophisticated energy management systems that are supplied by supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to keep the system in balance. The petroleum segment entails the exploration, production, storage, transport, and refinement of crude oil. The crude oil is refined into petroleum products that are then stored and distributed to key economic sectors throughout the U.S. Key petroleum products include motor gasoline, jet fuel, distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, and liquefied petroleum gases. Both crude oil and petroleum products are imported, primarily by ship, as well as produced domestically. Currently, 63 percent of the crude oil required to fuel the U.S. economy is imported. In the Unites States, there are more than 500,000 crude oil producing wells, 30,000 miles of gathering pipeline, and 74,000 miles of crude oil pipeline. There are 152 petroleum refineries, 95,000 miles of product pipeline, and 2,000 petroleum terminals. Petroleum also relies on sophisticated SCADA and other systems to control production and distribution; however, crude oil and petroleum products are stored in tank farms and other facilities. Natural gas is also produced, piped stored, and distributed in the U.S. Imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are increasing to meet growing demand. There are more than 383,000 gas production and condensate wells and 45,000 miles of gathering pipeline in the country. Gas is processed (impurities removed) at 726 gas-processing plants and there are more than 254,000 miles of interstate pipeline for the transmission of natural gas. Gas is stored at 410 underground storage fields and 96 LNG storage facilities. Finally, natural gas is

distributed to homes and businesses over 981,000 miles of distribution pipelines. The heavy reliance on pipelines highlights the interdependency with the Transportation Sector and the reliance on the Energy Sector for power means that virtually all sectors have dependencies on the sector. The Energy Sector is well aware of its vulnerabilities and is leading a significant voluntary effort to increase its planning and preparedness. Cooperation through industry groups has resulted in substantial information sharing of effective and best practices across the sector. Many sector owners and operators have extensive experience abroad with infrastructure protection and have more recently focused their attention on cyber security. *

9.2 Professional Development Resources The energy infrastructure defines today’s economy and determines our society’s prosperity. This infrastructure is composed of three energy sources: electricity, natural gas, and petroleum. The social impact of a disruption to any of these sources will have a significant impact. The energy sector is separated into three distinct sub-sectors – Electricity, Nuclear, and Energy-Oil and Gas – because of their individual magnitudes caused by the complexity of their delivery systems, diversity of asset owners and marketers, and their extensive effects on all other infrastructures. The Electricity Sector is a major component and includes the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. The use of electricity is ubiquitous, spanning all sectors of the U.S. economy, and electric generation accounted for roughly 40 percent of all energy consumed in North America. Electricity system facilities are dispersed throughout the North American continent. Although most assets are privately owned, no single organization represents the interests of the entire sector. The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), through its eight Regional Reliability Councils, provides a platform for ensuring reliable, adequate, and secure supplies of electricity through coordination with many asset owners. It is also the lead organization for developing and enforcing operating reliability standards and security guidelines for both physical and cyber facilities. Industry trade associations support and assist NERC in its reliability and security activities. The following references provide a compilation of the publicly available security documents relevant to the Electricity Sector. Users are encouraged to contact their associations to obtain security documents that are limited to participating members.

10.0 Government Facilities Sector 10.1 Sector Overview U.S. citizens regularly interact with government at all levels and depend on the provision of various government services, all of which are supported by an array of facilities owned, leased, or operated by government entities. Ensuring the continuity of these functions and services through protection of their associated government assets is vital to homeland security. The Government Facilities Sector includes a wide variety of buildings, owned and leased by Federal, State, Territorial, local, or tribal governments, located domestically and overseas. Many government facilities are open to the public for business activities, commercial transactions, or recreational activities. Others not open to the public contain highly sensitive information, materials, processes, and equipment. This includes generaluse office buildings and special-use military installations, embassies, courthouses, national laboratories, and structures that may house critical equipment and systems, networks, and functions. In addition to physical structures, the sector considers cyber elements that contribute to the protection of sector assets (e.g., access control systems and closed-circuit television systems) as well as the protection of individuals who possess tactical, operational, or strategic knowledge or perform essential functions. *

National Monuments and Icons Sector
12.0 National Monuments and Icons Sector 12.1 Sector Overview The National Monuments and Icons (NM&I) Sector encompasses a diverse array of assets located throughout the United States and its Territories. While many of these assets are listed in either the National Register of Historic Places or the List of National Historic Landmarks, all share three common characteristics: (1) they are a monument, physical structure, object, or geographic site; (2) they are widely recognized to represent the Nation’s heritage, traditions, or values, or widely recognized to represent important national cultural, religious, historical, or political significance; and (3) their primary purpose is to memorialize or represent some significant aspect of the Nation’s heritage, tradition, or values, and to serve as points of interest for visitors and educational activities. NM&I Sector assets are all physical structures, objects, or geographic sites. Included as part of each asset are the operational staff and visitors that may be impacted by an attack on the asset. There are minimal cyber and telecommunications issues associated with this sector because of the nature of the assets. There may be some information technology or telecommunications systems utilized at a few of the assets that will be considered during the vulnerability assessment process and the protective program implementation as appropriate. Some physical structures that could be considered as monuments or icons (e.g., Golden Gate Bridge, Sears Towers, Hoover Dam, U.S. Capitol) have been determined to be more appropriately assigned to other sectors, such as Transportation Systems, Commercial Facilities, Dams, and Government Facilities, because of their primary purpose. The NM&I Sector-Specific Plan is primarily focused on the identification, assessment, prioritization, and protection of nationally significant NM&I that may be attractive terrorist targets.*

14.0 Postal and Shipping Sector 14.1 Sector Overview The Postal and Shipping Sector is an integral component of the U.S. economy, employing more than 1.5 million people and earning revenues of more than $148 billion per year. The Postal and Shipping Sector moves hundreds of millions of messages, products, and financial transactions each day. Postal and shipping activity is differentiated from general cargo operations by its focus on small- and medium-size packages and by service from millions of senders to millions of destinations. The sector is highly concentrated, with a handful of providers holding roughly 96 percent of the market share. Sector-specific assets include: high-volume automated processing facilities; tens of thousands of local delivery units; many and varied collection, acceptance, and retail operations; mail transport equipment; and information and communications networks. Beyond physical and cyber assets, the most critical sector asset is public trust. The Postal and Shipping Sector has many dependencies and inter-relationships with a wide range of other sectors, including its potential role as a threat vector to other sectors and the general public. The Banking and Finance, Government Facilities, Commercial Facilities, and Public Health and Healthcare Sectors all rely heavily on the Postal and Shipping Sector for the shipment and delivery of critical documents and packages. The Postal and Shipping Sector itself relies on: 1) the Transportation Systems Sector for the movement of mail and packages by air, road, or rail, as well a being a major customer of the sector; 2) the Energy Sector for power, as well as being a customer of the sector; and 3) the Information Technology and Telecommunications sectors for supporting logistics operations and automatic identification and sorting; these sectors are also key customers. All of these sectors are working together to ensure that their efforts support each other. *

Telecommunications Sector
16.0 Telecommunications Sector 16.1 Sector Overview The Telecommunications Sector is an integral component of the U.S. economy as it underlies the operations of all businesses, public safety organizations, and government. Over 25 years, the sector has evolved from predominantly a provider of voice services into a diverse, competitive, and interconnected industry using terrestrial, satellite, and wireless transmission systems. The transmission of these services has become interconnected; satellite, wireless, and wireline providers depend on each other to carry and terminate their traffic and companies routinely share facilities and technology with each other to ensure interoperability. A majority of the Telecommunications Sector is privately owned, requiring DHS to work closely with the private sector and its industry associations to identify infrastructure, assess risks, prioritize risks, develop protective programs, and measure program effectiveness. The Telecommunications Sector has critical interdependencies with: The Energy Sector for power to run cellular towers, central offices, and other critical communications facilities; The Information Technology Sector for critical control systems and services; and Other CI/KR sectors. All CI/KR have critical dependencies with the Telecommunications Sector. For example: The Banking and Finance Sector relies on telecommunications for the transmission of transactions and operations of financial markets; The Emergency Services Sector depends on telecommunications for directing resources, coordinating response, alerting the public, and receiving emergency 911 calls; and The Postal and Shipping Sector uses telecommunications for its control systems, tracking shipments, and regular communications requirements. *

The FAA is supporting the development of promising new technologies that can reveal the presence not only of metal-based weapons as with current screening technologies, but also detect plastic explosives and other non-metallic threat materials and objects, and is concerned that these new technologies may not be appropriate for use in airports for other than technical reasons. This book presents discussion of the health, legal, and public acceptance issues that are likely to be raised regarding implementation of improvements in the current electromagnetic screening technologies, implementation of screening systems that detect traces of explosive materials on passengers, and implementation of systems that generate images of passengers beneath their clothes for analysis by human screeners.

Aviation Security – Civil aviation security exists to prevent criminal activity on aircraft and in airports. Criminal activity includes acts such as hijacking (air piracy), damaging or destroying aircraft and nearby areas with bombs, and assaulting passengers and aviation employees. Today, aviation security is high on the list of priorities of air travelers, the Federal Government, and the international air community.

Whether they take a bus to work, ride the train to the airport or travel among the 59 municipalities it serves, Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's riders logged nearly 60 million trips a year. The RTA is one of the largest transit systems in the United States.

Coast Guard Must Ramp Up Security, Acquisition Efforts, GovExec.com (Feb. 13, 2003) – The Coast Guard should accelerate efforts to protect U.S. seaports from terrorism and move ahead on its $11 billion Deepwater acquisition project, senators from coastal states said Wednesday. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, called on the Coast Guard to speed up security assessments of seaports and said she would try to increase funding for Deepwater, the service’s 30year upgrade of its offshore fleet, so the project could be finished in 10 years. Computer Assisted Passenger Pre-Screening – In the past 18 months, most airline passengers have been more than willing to sacrifice a little convenience in the name of safety. The Transportation Security Administration bets they are willing to sacrifice privacy as well. That's the premise anyway of TSA's Computer Assisted Passenger Pre-Screening (CAPPS) II program, which Lockheed Martin Corp. will develop in the coming months to serve as a watchdog for the aviation industry. The program, which will receive passenger data from airline systems, will search government watch lists, financial records and other databases, looking for suspicious activity. The system will then assign a red, yellow or green threat level to passengers. Red indicates that a passenger cannot board an airplane; yellow will trigger close scrutiny of a passenger.

Detour Ahead: Critical Vulnerabilities in America's Rail and Mass Transit Security Programs, Transportation Research Board of the National Academies Press (2006). U. S. Congressman Bennie G. Thompson, ranking member of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Homeland Security Committee, has released a report that was prepared by the Democratic staff of the committee that examines the potential vulnerabilities of America’s rail and mass transit security programs. The report was produced to coincide with the first anniversary of the London public transportation bombings of July 7, 2005. DHS Plans Web site to Help Identify Transportation Vulnerabilities – The Department of Homeland Security plans to set up a free Web site that will allow owners and operators of transportation systems to voluntarily assess their security protections against terrorist attacks and receive recommendations on how to make improvements, the department announced this week. DHS is seeking public and industry comment on the Vulnerability Identification Self-Assessment Tool. The department submitted a request Wednesday to the Office of Management and Budget for emergency processing and approval authority to move forward on developing the tool. Comments are due to OMB by Sept. 9. The tool would be free to users and managed by the Transportation Security Administration.

Federal Cargo Inspection System Found Wanting – A system used by the Homeland Security Department to help inspectors identify high-risk cargo coming into U.S. seaports needs improvement in order to better screen for weapons of mass destruction, according to a new report. In a summary report released this week, the Homeland Security Department's inspector general found deficiencies in an inspection system used by the Customs and Border Protection Bureau. Called the Automated Targeting System, it is used by CBP inspectors at domestic and foreign ports to help identify highrisk cargo containers for inspection. About 9 million containers arrive annually at U.S. seaports, making it impossible to physically inspect each of them without hampering the flow of commerce.

In late October—just two weeks before press reports indicated that some 4,000 surface-to-air missiles had gone missing from Saddam Hussein's arsenal after the invasion of Iraq—the Congressional Research Service released a report assessing the threat such missiles pose to the U.S. airline industry. According to the study, some twenty-five to thirty terrorist and insurgent groups already have surface-to-air missiles, including groups in Turkey, Thailand, Ireland, and Russia. The weapons generally have a range of about four miles, meaning that planes are safe while flying at 20,000 feet or higher, but vulnerable during takeoff and descent. The report notes that since surface-to-air missiles were first developed, in the late 1950s, there have been only six incidents in which passenger jets have been attacked with them; only two of these attacks were classified as "catastrophic," resulting in the deaths of all passengers on board. (The most recent attack occurred in November of 2002, when terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda unsuccessfully fired two surface-to-air missiles at an Israeli passenger jet in Mombasa, Kenya.) The bad news, according to the report, is that there is no simple or affordable way of protecting planes from such missiles. If the U.S. government were to install countermeasures on each of the country's thousands of large passenger jets, the cost would be somewhere between one and three million dollars per

security design into a mass transit system. The first section of the book discusses the foundations of creating a systematic approach to safety and security. The initial chapter establishes the community orientation needed for creating a stakeholder-vested transit system. From that foundation, an examination of information management and planning finish the discourse on the elemental portions of creating a total system. The next section divides mass transit into its basic components of buses, light rail, and fixed locations/stations. Each component requires consideration of unique or specialized issues. Finally, the last section covers specific topics of concern, such as terrorism, youths, gangs, mentally ill, homeless, and other pertinent areas of interest to both transit policing and system management. Policing Mass Transit is a book well-suited to students, planners, transit managers, and law enforcement officers. It is a comprehensive approach to designing a safe, secure, and desirable mass transit system. Policing Mass Transit: Serving a Unique Community – An article by Kurt R.

Most have made some improvements with help from federal funds, albeit in amounts that some in the maritime industry have called inadequate. Critics of port security are blunt: The agencies in charge of security do not have the funding or personnel to protect the maritime industry, said Charming Hayden, president of the Steamship Association of Louisiana. He called the $92.3 million that the federal government granted earlier this year to improve port security a drop in the bucket. There is a $2.2 billion need just to do the minimum at the nation's ports, said Beth Rooney, manager of port security at the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey.

Seaports Called 'Critically Vulnerable' to Terrorism – The nation's seaports remain "critically vulnerable" to terrorists seeking to smuggle weapons of mass destruction—or themselves—into the United States, several port security experts told a Senate panel on Thursday. "There are vulnerabilities in our sea cargo-container system that have the potential for exploitation by terrorists," Asa Hutchinson, the Homeland Security Department's undersecretary for border and transportation security, said during a Governmental Affairs Committee hearing. "In fact, most experts believe a terrorist attack using a container is likely." Capt. Jeffrey Monroe, director of ports and transportation for the city of Portland, Maine, said that although federal, state and local officials have made "great strides" in securing ports since Sept. 11, 2001, "we still must find solutions to the most serious problems on the waterfront." Those problems include a lack of coordination and procedural standards among agencies that regulate maritime commerce, and port managers' ongoing lack of access to intelligence data, according to Monroe.

The U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Coast Guard and the International Maritime Organization are among the agencies developing programs ranging from inspecting "high-risk" containers to creating a system of security alerts and accompanying procedures for ships and ports. About 90 percent of the world's cargo moves by container, with 200 million containers moving between major seaports globally each year and more than 16 million arriving in the United States by ship, truck and rail, the Customs Service said. The Customs Service earlier this year launched a Container Security Initiative intended to keep out potentially dangerous cargo. Under new Customs regulations, carriers must provide U.S. Customs officials in foreign seaports with cargo manifests 24 hours before vessel loading. Ports in
