The mission of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency’s Office for Bombing Prevention is to protect life and critical infrastructure by building capabilities within the public and across the private and public sectors to prevent, protect against, respond to, and mitigate bombing incidents.
This session will look at threat landscape awareness products, training opportunities, and videos to help government professionals and their supporting academia and industry partners anticipate, identify, and prevent bomb attacks. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the national threat landscape and ways the government industry may be vulnerable, learn about national policy for counter-improvised explosive devices (C-IEDs), and hear more about the resources available to help prepare their physical space and educate staff.
The following topics will be covered:
- A greater understanding of the IED threat.
- Strategic approaches for C-IED preparedness, prevention, and response capabilities and specific resources to improve their capabilities.
- Information to support existing/new preparedness efforts, such as risk assessments and staff training.
