As we begin the slow and sometimes gloomy move from autumn into Winter, November is usually recognised for its fireworks and bonfires and the early onset of Christmas decorations in shopping malls all over the UK. In the USA, thoughts around their Thanksgiving Holidays take precedent, but of a greater importance to our US security counter-parts, November is also recognised as National Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month. Following on from Cybersecurity Awareness month in October, November is a good reminder to all organisations involved in the protection of US Critical National Infrastructure about the importance of what their roles are in providing that protection. The first formal definition of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) dates back to 1996 from President Bill Clinton where he signed Executive Order 13010 addressing the importance of protecting those assets that comprised of US CNI.
