Energy Infrastructure Security 2005: Protecting Staff, Assets And Operations From Sabotage And Potential Terrorist Threat
Utilis Energy, LLC, Jan 2005
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.
Loss of life on the luxury liner Titanic prompted new safety regulations for passenger ships. A fire at New York City's Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in 1911 caused the deaths of 146 young women and was the catalyst for the development of workplace safety and fire regulations. The tragic events of September 11th, 2001, and their aftermath, have had a similar impact on all aspects of US society.
In this new environment, the energy sector finds itself in an unenviable position. The industry provides critical services and has an immense infrastructure spread across the US. The industry provides numerous attractive targets to groups dedicated to terror operations. Many of these energy facilities are unprotected or have only basic security measures in place. In light of the events of September 11th and the heightened levels of security since, energy firms, large and small, have been forced to consider all the possible scenarios and challenges posed by this new era of uncertainty and risk.
Energy Infrastructure Security 2005:
- 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
