To fulfill the requirement for a comprehensive plan, including cyber aspects, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a national plan in June 2006 for the sectors to use as a road map to enhance the protection of critical infrastructure. Lead federal agencies, referred to as sector-specific agencies, are responsible for coordinating critical infrastructure protection efforts, such as the development of plans that are specific to each sector. In this context, GAO was asked to determine if these sector-specific plans address key aspects of cyber security, including cyber assets, key vulnerabilities, vulnerability reduction efforts, and recovery plans. To accomplish this, GAO analyzed each sector-specific plan against criteria that were developed on the basis of DHS guidance. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-113/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-113.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-113/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-113.pdf GAO-08-113 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-113 Other Written Product GAO-08-113; Critical Infrastructure Protection: Sector-Specific Plans' Coverage of Key Cyber Security Elements Varies; Command and control systems Computer systems Critical infrastructure Cyber security Energy Evaluation criteria Homeland security Information infrastructure Information security Information technology Public health Risk assessment Risk management Strategic planning System security plans Transportation Security standards National Infrastructure Protection Plan
