Our vital assets, systems, networks and IP are under siege by State and corporate bad actors. The DHS has identified 16 Critical Infrastructure Sectors per Presidential Directive 21: Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience. The Directive advances a national policy to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure. The Critical Sectors are Energy, Water, Food and Agriculture, Communications, Government Facilities,IT, Chemical, Emergency Services, Financial, Healthcare, Defense, Nuclear, Dams, Transportation, Commercial and Critical Manufacturing. New stealth threats keep evolving: fake cell towers, agents with listening devises in coffee shops, drive by listening, offshore listening and options to coordinate multiple locations to establish control of the grid and critical life supporting services. Important data includes control mechanisms, financial data, IP, research data, cloud rooms, healthcare and government data. Cyber and eavesdropping programs may be just as effective as conventional warfare at a small percentage of the cost. This enables a greater number of actors to develop their threat skills. There will be a short discussion of the Critical Sectors:what should we protect. Options to harden the security will be discussed. This will include metallic paint, double walls, steel walls,Faraday cages and metalized fabric.
