Abstract:
 Countries covered: United States


Notable events in US and world history have frequently served as "wake up calls", prompting businesses and governments to implement new measures, regulations and laws to protect people and property. In this new environment of potential terrorist activity, the US energy sector finds itself in an unenviable position. Energy Infrastructure Security 2007:
  • Explores how to model & quantify energy infrastructure security risk
  • Explains current infrastructure vulnerabilities and the steps that can be taken to secure them
  • Includes case studies of actual & potential energy sector terrorism
  • Provides information on traditional and newly devised security measures
  • Explains Information Technology system security weaknesses and protection measures
  • Considers the legislative and regulatory legalities of information sharing
By pointing out vulnerabilities and offering recommendations on how to protect employees, assets, operations and the public, the aim of this study is to aid energy firms in preventing further terror activity and assist local, state and federal authorities in ensuring security for all.

This study is designed to meet the information requirements of:
  • Senior Management
  • Corporate Planners
  • IT Professionals
  • Human Resources Managers
  • Finance personnel
