The Threat of Traditional Attacks and Cyber Warfare on Natural Gas and Coal
Abstract
This thesis' focuses on the critical infrastructural security of the gas and coal industries, which account for 50% of our nation's domestic energy consumption. I believe that maintaining energy security is a fundamental responsibility because it ensures the wellbeing of our society. Our ability to maintain critical infrastructural security is dependent on public awareness and support of our critical infrastructure, and to understand the risks that threaten it. In addition, effective government leadership in response to terrorist attacks, private sector cooperation, planning for emergencies that involve supply disruptions, and ensuring adequate resource allocation to provide energy source diversification can ensure infrastructural security. The objectives of infrastructural security cannot be achieved without the means of innovative technology, up-to-date information systems, adequate funding, and equipped personnel.
