What is infrastructure protection?

Infrastructure protection refers to the strategies, policies, and actions taken to safeguard critical physical and cyber infrastructure, such as power grids, water systems, transportation networks, and communication systems, from threats and disruptions. This can include protection against natural disasters, cyberattacks, terrorism, and other hazards. Professionals in this field assess vulnerabilities, develop security plans, and coordinate with government agencies and private sector partners to ensure the resilience and reliability of essential services.
