Introduction
❖ In the article “Critical Infrastructure Protection: Maintenance is National Security,”
the author, Kris Hemme, investigates the current state of US Critical Infrastructure
Protection (CIP) and Sector-Specific Agency (SSA) efficacy in executing Sector-Specific
Plans (SSP).
❖ The researcher uses the 2013 National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) to evaluate
the state of CIP’s and SSA’s success in SSP implementation.
❖ The DHS created the 2013 NIPP after policymakers changed their perspectives regarding
CIP from being indifferent to acknowledging the several natural as well as human-made
threats to CIP.

must be proactive rather than reactive.
