Assignment Objectives
Analyze a sector using network theory.
Apply the techniques of project management to addressing challenges in critical infrastructures.
Break down the critical components that are highly important to the sector.
Categorize the key sectors of critical infrastructure.
Compare and contrast various risk assessment procedures.
Critique the role that the private sector plays in homeland security.
Derive the best use of resources to reduce vulnerabilities and/or minimize financial impact.
Model the most important components as a fault-tree to extract the critical vulnerabilities of the sector.
Outline the assets associated with each of the key sectors as well as how the sectors function and their regulatory structure.
Recognize the most salient vulnerabilities associated with each sector.
**Primary Task**: Write 250-350 words in APA 6th edition format that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Discuss methods for making recommendations to mitigate the critical infrastructure (CI) challenges to the Defense Industrial Base sector.
What do you believe provides a strong foundation for creating useful recommendations related to CI? Consider relevance, acceptability, resource allowances or constraints, timeliness, salience, clarity, larger strategy, and so forth. If someone were making recommendations to you personally, what qualities might it take for you to be persuaded to employ these?
Share at least 2 fully detailed recommendations that you will make in your Key Assignment. Because your peers will not necessarily know everything about your specific network and sector, explain the rationale for each recommendation, and what outcome you foresee each one having to mitigate or overcome the challenges that you are targeting.
ensure that your submission rates below 10 percent on turnitin originality verification.
