Implementing a Local Security Program to Protect National Infrastructure System Companies and Facili
The purpose of my paper is to first review the macro-level issues involved in the need for a national level infrastructure protection program. In fact many of these major issues have already been very well examined in other SANS papers.3,4,5,6 However, I want to transition from these macro-level issues and then focus on those pertinent threats and developments that drive the need for specific security programs at the local infrastructure company level. These key infrastructure elements include the gas, oil, water, electricity, and transportation companies which are the life blood of our country and commerce.
