are also referred to as Automated Vehicle Highway Systems (AVHS) or Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The lack of global consensus on what to call smart driving and smart highways reflects the burgeoning nature and broad gamut of technologies that need to be further developed and integrated into standardized systems. The most important of the IVHS systems involve both vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) technologies. Both V2V and V2I technologies capitalize on software and hardware systems that have already been integrated into many newer automobiles, such as GPS and WiFi. Some systems also require Dedicated Short Range Communication (DRSC),… Continue Reading...
including “power grids and water filtration plants; national monuments and government facilities; telecommunications and transportation systems; chemical facilities” (“CIKR,” 2009, par.1). Although the majority of CIKR is privately owned, according to DHS, the government still has a vital protective role to ensure it works correctly.
Cybersecurity
Although the Internet was still in a relatively primitive stage when DHS was first established, the online element of the nation’s critical infrastructure cannot be underestimated and has seismically grown in its importance. People trust a tremendous amount of vital data to make payments and conduct transactions in private enterprise. “We are in an era where there is… Continue Reading...
are also computer-dependent technologies that are used to monitor and control, critical transportation systems, water treatment and distribution systems, power grids, gas distribution systems, and oil transport systems. Moreover, virtually all aircrafts are guided by GPS (Global Positioning System), and other computer-linked/ related systems. From the above-made statements, it is clear that there is a need for coordinated security systems to protect critical computer systems that are keeping the world moving. This means there is a strong need for cooperation among stakeholders for the successful protection of critical infrastructure.
According to the Department of Justice, any unpermitted intrusion into a critical national… Continue Reading...
various health-related like medical care
• Community design and the "built environment" like transportation systems
• Knowledge about the health trends in the region
• Environmental susceptibility to the change in terms of consumer readiness and awareness
Question Three
The stakeholders in the facility include the corporate decision makers, the managers, and the producers who actually handle every bit of the production process, the professionals, and the consumers within the facility (Kearney-Nunnery, 2016). Moreover, the stakeholders also include the… Continue Reading...
security and efficient functioning of the nation. Critical infrastructure includes financial systems, transportation systems, power grids, drinking water systems, and so on. They are important for day-to-day life as we know it and they ought to be fully protected from all sorts of threats (Department of Homeland Security, 2009).
The National Infrastructure Protection Plan provides a singular platform that integrates all CIP efforts and strategies to ensure the safety of critical infrastructure. The plan prioritizes all public and private critical infrastructure protection efforts, strategies, and resources towards reducing risk by minimizing vulnerabilities, preventing threats, and lessening the damages caused by terrorist attacks… Continue Reading...
