Discussion Prompt: Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources
After watching the Risk Formula video in this week’s Reading & Viewing assignments, pick a local organization that would be considered part of the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) that may benefit from a risk assessment.
Consider and post about the following:
What information would the organization need access to properly assess the threat posed to it? Does the threat posed by other organizations affect this organization?
Why type of vulnerabilities might this organization have? Does the organization appear to be mitigating vulnerabilities? What limits the organization’s ability to mitigate its vulnerabilities?
What are the consequences of this organization? How does it affect the community around it?
Compare and contrast the needs for risk assessment from the item you picked to either a school or a church. Explain how a school or church can be impacted by the CIKR around it.
