On Nov. 7, CISA announced the kickoff of Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience (CISR) Month. CISR Month is CISA’s annual effort to educate and engage all levels of government, infrastructure owners and operators, and the American public about the vital role critical infrastructure plays in the nation’s security and why it is important to strengthen critical infrastructure resilience. The enduring theme this year remains “Resolve to be Resilient.” Throughout November, CISA is highlighting how critical infrastructure organizations can integrate the following practices to help make our critical infrastructure secure, resilient, and able to bounce back quickly and build back stronger when disruptions occur:
Know Your Infrastructure and Dependencies.
Assess Your Risks.
Make Actionable Plans.
Measure Progress to Continuously Improve.
CISA has provided resources on its Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience (CISR) Month webpage, which includes a toolkit and social media graphics. The toolkit includes lists with quick actions that can be taken by various stakeholders. For example, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments can help make critical infrastructure more resilient by connecting public safety officials with private sector businesses, and by conducting or participating in a training or exercise to improve security and resilience.
The toolkit highlights CISA’s resources on the following topics:
Active shooter preparedness
Bombing Prevention and C-IED
Chemical security
Federal facility security
Insider threat
School safety
Resilience planning and supply chain security
UAS security
Public gatherings and physical security
Self-assessments and exercises
