  2. I&C is the Key The traditional view of separate infrastructures that interact will give way to a view that the set of infrastructures constitutes a complete and complex system. In other words, we need to adopt a holistic view of the infrastructure. In the meantime, we must make the most effective transition from the current perspective to the new one. Therein lies the challenge...

  3. PDD 63 - Structure • Establishes a National Coordinator for Critical Infrastructure Protection (Richard Clarke) • Identifies 8 critical infrastructures and designated Federal lead agencies to collaborate with industry sectors • Requires lead agencies to identify industry Sector Coordinators

  9. Commerce Approach • Your bottom line is our bottom line…. • We define the infrastructure broadly and you own most of it; • You understand and manage your own risks in ways that make good business sense; • However, some risks can cause cascading failures that affect larger national interests; • Can succeed only if partners.
