Part I- Role of the Malicious Actor

Your supervisor asks you to write a report in which you imagine that you are a malicious actor interested in exploiting or harming U.S. critical infrastructure.

Identify two critical infrastructure sectors you will attack, your motives for attacking and exploiting the sectors, the sectors' potential vulnerabilities, and the approaches you will take to exploit the vulnerabilities in the following table.

Questions Attack 1 Attack 2

What critical infrastructure sector will you attack?

What is your motive for attacking and exploiting this sector?

What is one of the sector's potential vulnerabilities?

What approaches will you take to exploit the vulnerability? Consider both physical and human aspects.

Part 2- Counterstrategy

Now that you have proactively analyzed potential attacks to the critical infrastructure, your supervisor asks you to consider counterstrategies to fight the attacks you planned as a malicious actor.

Write a 350- to 700-word briefing about the counterstrategies to protect the property and human assets from the attacks you planned as a malicious actor.
