Why is it so important for the private sector and the artists to form a partnership to protect the our critical infrastructures?
Our mission requires both the extensive and sustained involvement of the private sector. This is because infrastructure protection is not just a mission for the federal government. All levels of governments, that is both state and local entities, must also be involved, because they own and operate some of the critical infrastructures and because their agencies are often the first responders in the event of a crisis. However, in the final analysis, it is private industry that owns and operates most of the infrastructures, so it must be involved in helping us defend them. And , fortunately, it has the greatest expertise in identifying and solving the technical problems. In recognition of the vital roles all of these entities must play, we want to emphasize that the IPC is founded on the notion of a partnership. This partnership reflects the need to build a two-way street for the flow of information and incident data between the government and the private sector. We are building this part
