This presentation will discuss how the Department of Defense executes its critical infrastructure protection program, where it intersects with energy sector CIP efforts and what we can learn from each other.

1. There’s Only One Everything
Defense Critical Infrastructure Protection
and the Energy Sector
Brian McKay
10th EnergySec Security Summit
21 August 2014

3. “Let’s begin with a
fundamental understanding:
criticality is time and situation
dependent. We can never be
sure what assets will be

4. The mission
depends on
critical
assets…
…which depend
on critical
infrastructure

5. RISK =
f(threat, vulnerability,
criticality)

6. “Developing an
understanding of network
theory and the
characterizing of
infrastructure networks in a
manner consistent with the
theory is the first step in the
process of providing for our
collective security”
- COL Bruce Beebe

7. “DOD relies
overwhelmingly on
commercial
electrical power …
whose
incapacitation or
destruction would
have a very
serious,
debilitating effect
on the
department’s
ability to fulfill its
missions”
- GAO

8. Where
do we go
from
here?
