About_CID

Welcome

The Center for Infrastructure Defense (CID) focuses on the continued operation of critical military and civilian infrastructure in the presence of accident, failure, and attack.

Our team combines the expertise of senior scholars with a highly motivated student body consisting of military officers and government employees from the U.S. and its global partners.

We serve as trusted advisors to the military, government, and private sector. We stand ready to address both long-term and emergent issues related to national and international infrastructure systems.

Mission

The mission of the CID is to develop, review, and promote science in the service of defending critical infrastructure systems affecting our homeland at the national, state, and local levels.

Goal

Our goal is to provide analytical support for national, state, and local decision makers in government, the military, and the private sector regarding infrastructure defense.
