Tyson Macaulay
Going beyond definitions, this book looks at all the defined CI sectors and suggests previously overlooked, yet critical, industries for inclusion in revised definitions. Authored by a leading security specialist, this powerful volume includes more than 200 tables and 100 figures that illustrate key concepts, considers all CI sectors for a 360-degree view, and focuses on Canada and the US equally to provide a useful cross-border security analysis.

It represents one of the first complete departures from policy, planning, and response strategies based on intuition and anecdotal evidence.
