Security in the Water Industry
Global drinking water resources are a critical commodity and are therefore potential targets for terrorism and extortion. Contamination and disruption of supplies potentially affect large populations, so they require affordable protection. In examining the collection, treatment and delivery process, security weaknesses can be identified and addressed using suitable methodologies and technology. The selection and provision of solutions must be carefully understood and then implemented in the most cost effective way for water company shareholders and customers.

CNI Protection Framework
Attacks, accidents and natural disasters threaten Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). They can cause catastrophic loss of life, substantial asset destruction, severe economic disruption, and cripple morale, confidence and reputation. The impact of such incidents can be geographically isolated or cascade across a large region due to the interdependency of CNI networks. This paper presents a framework to assist government agencies, business leaders and industry professionals in their development of CNI policy and decision making.
