CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMS
TAS-Corp takes a systemic approach to Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) by focusing on the dependencies and interdependencies which underlie asset viability, ensuring the provision of the essential resources required to conduct daily life. A comprehensive Critical Infrastructure Protection program should analyze how a specific facility fits into a complex network, and create a quantifiable method of investing in robust protection strategies. This approach ensures that finite resources for Critical Infrastructure Protection are allocated toward the most significant assets and vulnerabilities. Critical Infrastructure Protection is All-Hazards in nature, focusing not only on the most likely threats, but the greatest risks to physical, cyber and geographic interdependencies. The ability to identify the critical nodes and networks within a system, and applying solutions to ensure continued resource viability, is essential to both the government and the business owner seeking to maintain operational continuity. An effective CIP program is built upon collaboration at the ground level, and incorporates the knowledge, expertise and resources of participants from all levels of government, as well as the private sector.
The TAS-Corp Approach
The TAS-Corp team brings a unique and unparalleled level of expertise to our clients, providing guidance in the complex issues facing government decision makers and asset owner-operators, as well as potential methods to integrate disparate systems into a comprehensive CIP program. The CIP services offered by the TAS-Corp team incorporate the lifecycle of an effective CIP program, including criticality and vulnerability assessments, interdependencies analysis, risk mitigation and system resiliency solutions, and technology application.
TAS-Corp is uniquely situated to assist federal, state, and local government, as well as private sector partners, in developing strategies and programs for Critical Infrastructure Protection. The leadership of TAS-Corp was integral in the establishment of a national Critical Infrastructure Protection program at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the establishment of the Office of Energy Assurance at the U.S. Department of Energy. This experience is applied on behalf of TAS-Corp’s clients to create CIP programs which build upon the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) to provide measurable long-term results.
