CS3660 Critical Infrastructure Protection
Critical infrastructure is one of the cornerstones of Homeland Security in the United States. While we intuitively understand the importance of our infrastructure, we understand far less about what is critical and what we can do to make infrastructure more resilient. The purpose of this course is to give you a framework for understanding and the tools to analyze critical infrastructures. We take a “system of systems” approach that involves understanding the basics of how infrastructures function and how complexity theory and related policies influence their structure. We study risk and its applications to critical infrastructures. Finally, we provide a framework that will allow you to scope, model, and then analyze an infrastructure from both the attacker and defender points of view resulting in recommendations based on risk and considering the return on investment in terms of risk reduction.
