It is focused on protecting the critical infrastructure of the United States. The program is business- and private-sector focused with consideration to the fact that the majority of these industries are private entities. The Department of Homeland Security and public-sector role via regulation, guidelines, and partnerships is a theme that runs through the entire program.
