and the Energy Sector

Brian McKay10th EnergySec Security Summit

21 August 2014

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

- Bill Bryan

The mission depends on critical assets…

…which depend on critical infrastructure

RISK = f(threat, vulnerability, criticality)

“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

“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 Report

Where do we

go from here?
