Report by the Exec. Office of the Pres., Office of Science & Tech. Policy, & the The Dept. of Homeland Security. This plan is the first annual version of the R&D development roadmap for critical infrastructure protection, required by Homeland Security Pres. Directive 7: Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, & Protection. This R&D plan is national in scope & integrates cyber, physical & human elements. It is an important first step in focusing the science & technical resources needed to protect the vital lifelines of the Nation. Developing relationships across Fed. agencies & disciplines is critical to protecting our infrastructure. Focuses on the identification of capabilities, needs & gaps based on known threats.

The Nation's infrastructures are the framework of physical structures and cyber information networks that provides a continual flow of information, goods, and services essential to the defense and economic security of the United States. Attacks on critical infrastructure could disrupt the direct functioning of key business and government activities, facilities, and systems, as well as have cascading effects throughout the country's economy and society.

This report summarizes research and development (R&D) recommendations for the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection (PCCIP). These recommendations address the eight critical infrastructures' identified in Executive Order 13010 as well as crosscutting, interdependency issues that affect more than one infrastructure. The goal of the R&D recommendations is to provide a roadmap for the development of technologies that will counter threats and reduce vulnerabilities in those areas having the potential for causing "significant" national security, economic, and/or social impacts. Specific technologies considered are those that protect infrastructure and thereby reduce vulnerability; detect intrusions and provide warning; mitigate the effects of disruptions (incidents); assist in the response management of incidents; and facilitate recovery. Basic research requiring long-term government investment is emphasized. This research must be accompanied by technology development within the private sector Technology, broadly defined, includes processes, systems, models and simulations, hardware, and software. It is essential to have strong involvement from infrastructure owners and operators to ensure the development and acquisition of useful and usable products.
