Assignment:

Part 1: Discuss the topic of "vulnerability" as it relates to critical infrastructure. What's the importance/role of vulnerability in support of critical infrastructure security? Is vulnerability a stand-alone concept in terms of better ensuring critical infrastructure security, or is vulnerability typically one of several cooperative elements working together to achieve better critical infrastructure security? What's the purpose of "vulnerability assessments"?

Part 2: Review CISA's "Critical Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessments" webpages found on the lower left area of the website that focus on the five vulnerability assessment tools. Based on your review of all five vulnerability assessment tools.

A. Provide an overview for one of the five vulnerability assessment tools of your choice: Assist Visits, Infrastructure Survey Tool, Infrastructure Visualization Platform, Protective Security Advisors, or Regional Resiliency Assessment Program.

B. Recommend two (2) additions, deletions, modifications, etc. to improve your chosen vulnerability assessment tool webpage so it best communicates the tool's intent and capabilities.

Alternatively, if you reach the conclusion that the contents of your chosen vulnerability assessment tool webpage is good enough "as is" in terms of addressing the tool's purpose, capabilities, etc. - which is acceptable based on your research and analysis, then provide an accompanying rationale discussing your logic in reaching this conclusion.

The following link serves as a starting point for some potentially relevant information to this tasking.
