Critical infrastructure protection (CIP) is a concept that relates to the preparedness and response to serious incidents that involve the critical infrastructure of a region or nation.
The American Presidential directive PDD-63 of May 1998 set up a national program of "Critical Infrastructure Protection".
In Europe the equivalent "European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection" (EPCIP) refers to the doctrine or specific programs created as a result of the European Commission's directive EU COM(2006) 786 which designates European critical infrastructure that, in case of fault, incident, or attack, could impact both the country where it is hosted and at least one other European Member State. Member states are obliged to adopt the 2006 directive into their national statutes.
The U.S. CIP is a national program to ensure the security of vulnerable and interconnected infrastructures of the United States. In May 1998, President Bill Clinton issued Presidential directive PDD-63 on the subject of Critical Infrastructure Protection. This recognized certain parts of the national infrastructure as critical to the national and economic security of the United States and the well-being of its citizenry, and required steps to be taken to protect it.
Critical infrastructure is a term used by governments to describe assets that are essential for the functioning of a society and economy - the infrastructure. Most commonly associated with the term are facilities for:
The European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP) has been laid out in EU Directives by the Commission (EU COM(2006) 786 final). It has proposed a list of European critical infrastructures based upon inputs by its Member States.
Protection may refer to:

The increasing connectivity of intelligent machines is compelling companies to take steps to secure their industrial devices, the supply chain and more.

No matter where we are or what we do, we rely on critical infrastructure to support our way of life. At AECOM, we foster safe, secure and resilient critical infrastructure to help provide security for an interconnected world.
Managing risks to critical infrastructure requires an integrated approach across the whole-of-community to: Identify, deter, detect, and prepare for threats and hazards to the Nation's critical infrastructure; Reduce vulnerabilities of critical assets, systems, and networks; and Mitigate the potential consequences to critical infrastructure of incidents or adverse events that do occur. ~ DHS Sector Risk Snapshots, May 2014 To learn more about the Colorado Critical Infrastucture Protection program visit www.DHSEM.state.co.us.

Video presentation at the 2017 APEX workshop (Alumni Professional Exchange). David Riedman. The critical infrastructure club in the United States needs to be a little more exclusive, Center for Homeland Defense and Security master’s degree alumnus David Riedman told APEX during a presentation titled, “Thinking Critically About Infrastructure Protection.” More than 10 years after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security developed its National Critical Infrastructure Prioritization Program (NCIPP) the list of sites and facilities deemed vital to the nation has swelled to the point of meaningless and may well constitute outdated notions about terrorism. Even absent the terrorism threat, the nation faces an almost $4 trillion backlog of maintenance on roads, bridges, dams and a range of other...

Philip Reitinger, a former “Deputy Under Secretary” for U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a Director of the National Cyber-Security Center (NCSC) and currently President and CEO of Global Cyber Alliance participates in Risk Roundup with Jayshree Pandya to discuss the “Complex Challenges Facing Critical Infrastructure Protection”.
The purpose of this hearing is to examine threats to the nation’s critical infrastructure, including threats from terrorists and nation state actors. The Subcommittee will examine the capabilities of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of Cybersecurity and Communications (CS&C;) and Office of Infrastructure Protection (IP) in offering voluntary assessments to owners and operators of critical infrastructure to evaluate risks and to defend against attacks. Over the past several years, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has brought into question the value of DHS’ vulnerability assessments and its ability to mitigate potential duplication or gaps. The Subcommittee will examine several of the recommendations made by GAO and how DHS has addressed those concerns. Additional...
