The Department of Homeland Security offers a wide array of free tools and resources to government and private sector partners to enable the critical infrastructure security and resilience mission.

Cross-Sector Resources

• Office of Infrastructure Protection (IP) - Leads and coordinates national programs and policies on critical infrastructure security and resilience across multiple sectors and establishes strong partnerships between federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments and the private sector. IP also offers tools and trainings to partners to help them manage risks to their assets, systems, and networks.
• National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP 2013): Partnering for Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience - Outlines how government and private sector participants in the critical infrastructure community work together to manage risks and achieve security and resilience outcomes.
• Protective Security Advisors (PSA) - PSAs are trained critical infrastructure security and resilience and vulnerability mitigation subject matter experts.
• DHS Daily Open Source Infrastructure Report - Collected each business day, these reports provide a summary of open-source published information concerning significant critical infrastructure issues.
• Homeland Security Information Network - Critical Infrastructure (HSIN-CI) - The Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) is the trusted network for homeland security mission operations to share Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) information.  The Critical Infrastructure community on HSIN (HSIN-CI) is the primary system through which private sector owners and operators, DHS, and other federal, state, and local government agencies collaborate to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure. 
• Suspicious Activity Reporting Tool - This HSIN-CI Suspicious Activity Reporting tool allows non-uniformed, law enforcement private sector members to submit formalized suspicious activity reports to appropriate law enforcement officials and to facilitate efficient information sharing and responsiveness.
• Active Shooter Preparedness - Preparedness resources include various trainings; a desk reference guide; a poster; and a pocket-size reference card to address how employees, managers, training staff, and human resources personnel can mitigate the risk of and appropriately react in the event of an active shooter situation. Materials are also available in Spanish.
• Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Toolkit - A resource for local and regional infrastructure owners and operators to better prepare for, protect against, respond to, and recover from the full range of 21st-century threats and hazards.

Sector-Specific Resources

• Sector-Specific Agencies (SSA) - The primary federal entities responsible for coordinating critical infrastructure security and resilience efforts within individual sectors. DHS is the sector-specific agency for 10 of the 16 sectors.
• Sector-Specific Tabletop Exercise Program – This tool allows critical infrastructure partners to develop interactive, discussion-based exercises for their communities of interest, at the sector or a facility level. The program allows users to leverage pre-built exercise templates and tailor them to their communities’ specific needs in order to assess, develop, and update plans, programs, policies, and procedures within an incident management functional area. For more information, contact the IP Exercise Team at: IP.Exercises@hq.dhs.gov.

Assessment Resources

• Computer-Based Assessment Tool (CBAT) - This tool is a multiplatform software tool that blends a 360-degree geo-spherical video with geospatial and hypermedia data of facilities, surrounding areas, travel routes, and other areas of interest to create an interactive video guide of a selected location.
• Enhanced Critical Infrastructure Protection (ECIP) - This two-part voluntary program includes security surveys and outreach. Protective security advisors conduct security surveys to assess the overall security posture of the Nation’s most critical infrastructure sites and facilities. For more information, contact the Protective Security Coordination Division at IPAssessments@hq.dhs.gov.
• Regional Resiliency Assessment Program (RRAP) - This resource evaluates critical infrastructure in specific geographic regions to examine vulnerabilities, threats, and potential consequences from an all-hazards perspective.
• Site Assistance Visits - Vulnerability assessment conducted to develop awareness of a facility’s physical vulnerabilities and systems connectivity, interdependency, and weaknesses. Visits inform site owners and operators about security vulnerabilities and gaps as well as protective measures to increase preparedness for all hazards.
• National Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Capability Analysis Database - This resource gathers comprehensive data on state and local first responders to assess readiness, equipment, training, and assets required for effective response to IED threats. The resulting database reports help individual units, agency heads, and state and local homeland security officials understand baseline capabilities and areas for improvement.
• Multi-Jurisdiction Improvised Explosive Device Security Planning - This systematic process fuses counter-IED capability analysis, training, and planning to enhance urban area IED prevention, protection, mitigation, and response capabilities. The process assists with collectively identifying roles, responsibilities, and capability gaps and with optimizing limited resources within a multi-jurisdictional planning area. DHS Cybersecurity Resources.
• Critical Infrastructure Cyber Community C³ Voluntary Program - The Critical Infrastructure Cyber Community C³ (pronounced “C Cubed”) Voluntary Program is the coordination point within the Federal Government for critical infrastructure owners and operators interested in improving their cyber risk management processes.
• Cybersecurity Evaluation Program (CSEP) - Voluntary cybersecurity assessments conducted across all 16 critical infrastructure sectors and within state governments and large urban areas.

Other Critical Infrastructure Resources

• Office of Cyber and Infrastructure Analysis - Provides infrastructure consequence analysis, decision support, and modeling capabilities to public and private-sector partners.
