Question 1. How does a CIKR vulnerability assessment differ from a risk assessment?

Answers may vary, but vulnerability indicates there is a weakness that needs to be protected, and could be well-protected, whereas risk indicates that a certain action will be taken despite the risk which is being measured.

Question 2.  Identify the 3 critical infrastructure sectors with which you are most likely to interact in a typical day. Choose 3 with which you are least likely to interact. Explain why you considered them to be critical in the selection process.

Question 3. Research what would be considered critical infrastructure and key resources in a country of your choice (other than the U.S.). Based on a variety of criteria you determine (such as the political, economic, and military posture of the country), choose several areas that should be considered critical infrastructure and several that should be considered key resources. Identify how you would suggest your choices should be defended in a memo to the new president or leader of that country.
