to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and 
resilient critical infrastructure, including assets, net-
works, and systems, that are vital to public con-
fidence and the Nation’s safety, prosperity, and well- 
being. 
(2) The Nation’s critical infrastructure is di-
verse and complex. It includes distributed networks, 
varied organizational structures and operating mod-
els 
(including 
multinational 
ownership), 
inter-
dependent functions and systems in both the phys-
ical space and cyber space, and governance con-
structs that involve multilevel authorities, respon-
sibilities, and regulations. Critical infrastructure 
owners and operators are uniquely positioned to 
manage risks to their individual operations and as-
sets, and to determine effective strategies to make 
them more secure and resilient. 
(3) Critical infrastructure must be secured 
against terrorist attacks, and must be designed and 
maintained in such a way as to withstand and re-
cover quickly in the event of an attack. Achieving 
this will require integration with the national pre-
paredness system across prevention, protection, miti-
gation, response, and recovery efforts.
